Neurological Reflex Hammer Set

A neurological hammer set is a diagnostic tool used by doctors and other clinicians to test a patient's reflexes as part of a physical or neurological examination. By tapping specific tendons, most commonly at the knee, ankle, elbow or wrist, the practitioner can assess whether the reflex response is normal, reduced or exaggerated, which offers useful information about the nervous system's function.

Reflex hammers are a routine part of general physical checkups as well as more focused neurological assessments, helping identify potential issues that may need further investigation. A set typically includes more than one hammer or attachment, allowing the clinician to choose the tool best suited to the specific test being performed or personal preference in technique.

Because reflex testing is such a common part of clinical examination, this kind of instrument is used across general practice, neurology clinics, hospital wards and emergency departments. As a simple, non-invasive instrument, it requires only basic cleaning between patients to remain ready for the next examination in a busy clinical setting.
