Sklar Merit Buck Percussion Hammer, Chrome, 7 in

A percussion hammer is a basic diagnostic tool used to test deep tendon reflexes, with the clinician tapping the hammer against a tendon, such as at the knee or ankle, and observing the resulting muscle response as part of a neurological assessment. This Sklar Merit Buck version has a chrome finish and measures 7 inches overall, a size and weight distribution built to provide a consistent, controlled tap without excessive force.

Instruments of this kind are used across general practice, neurology, physiotherapy and emergency medicine wherever a reflex examination forms part of the patient assessment, and the Buck pattern is a long established design familiar to most clinicians. Its chrome finish is a durable surface that withstands routine wiping and disinfection between patients.

It should be cleaned between patients according to standard clinical equipment hygiene protocols appropriate to a reusable diagnostic device.
