Description

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer combines four instruments in one. The handle conceals a screw-in brush and a needle is contained within the head to allow for additional reflex and neurological testing. The brush accessory can be used to assess thigmesthesia or sensitivity to light touch on various parts of the body. The needle can be used for similar testing or to assist in testing for pain sensitivity in the upper or lower extremities.

Warranty: 1 Year - Defects in Materials and Workmanship under normal use and service.

The Neurological Percussion Hammer is used by healthcare practitioners to test deep tendon reflexes as part of a neurological physical examination in order to detect abnormalities in the central or peripheral nervous system.

Is this neurological hammer suitable for clinical use?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is engineered as a comprehensive diagnostic tool specifically for professional neurological assessments, promoting an efficient diagnostic workflow.

It is ideally suited for use in:

  • Clinical Settings and Private Practices: For routine physical examinations.
  • Hospitals: Where standardized neurological assessment tools are required.
  • Medical Training Environments: Used by students and educators.

This multi-functional instrument is a standard tool utilized by healthcare practitioners, including physicians, neurologists, and physical therapists, to test deep tendon reflexes and assess sensory functions (light touch and pain sensitivity).

Does the hammer offer comprehensive 4-in-1 capability?

Yes, the ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is designed for comprehensive neurological assessment, offering 4-in-1 functionality in a compact, 7.5-inch instrument. This multi-functional design integrates essential testing tools for efficiency in clinical settings, including:

  • Deep Tendon Reflexes: Tested using the specialized two-sided synthetic rubber head.
  • Thigmesthesia (Light Touch): Assessed using the concealed, screw-in brush accessory.
  • Pain Sensitivity: Evaluated using the concealed testing needle housed within the hammer’s head.

This durable instrument features a chrome-plated handle and is constructed without the use of natural rubber latex.

What neurological functions does this 4-in-1 hammer test?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is a versatile four-in-one diagnostic instrument designed for comprehensive neurological physical examinations. It allows practitioners to perform three key types of assessments:

  • Deep Tendon Reflex (DTR) Testing: This is the primary function, performed using the durable, two-sided synthetic rubber head to evaluate central or peripheral nervous system function.
  • Thigmesthesia (Light Touch Sensitivity): Evaluated using the screw-in brush, which is conveniently concealed within the chrome-plated handle.
  • Pain Sensitivity Testing: Assessed using the diagnostic needle, which is discreetly secured within the hammer’s head.
What useful tools does this hammer integrate?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is a highly versatile 4-in-1 diagnostic instrument essential for comprehensive neurological testing. It cleverly integrates multiple components into a single, durable unit:

  • Percussion Hammer: Features a two-sided synthetic rubber head for testing deep tendon reflexes.
  • Screw-in Brush: Used for assessing thigmesthesia (sensitivity to light touch).
  • Testing Needle: Concealed within the head, this tool is used for evaluating pain sensitivity.

This robust instrument features a chrome-plated handle, measures 7.5 inches (19.05 cm) in length, and is not made with natural rubber latex.

Does it feature durable, hypoallergenic construction?

Yes, the ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is engineered for professional durability and safety, featuring high-quality, long-lasting materials.

Where are the concealed diagnostic tools located?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is a versatile four-in-one instrument that cleverly integrates its testing components for efficiency during neurological exams. The concealed tools are located as follows:

  • The screw-in brush (used for thigmesthesia/light touch testing) is housed within the chrome-plated handle.
  • The testing needle (used for pain sensitivity assessment) is secured within the synthetic rubber head of the hammer.
What neurological tests can this hammer perform?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer is engineered as a multi-functional 4-in-1 diagnostic instrument for comprehensive neurological physical examinations. It allows practitioners to assess three essential areas using its integrated components:

  • Deep Tendon Reflexes: Tested using the primary, two-sided synthetic rubber head.
  • Light Touch Sensitivity (Thigmesthesia): Assessed via the convenient screw-in brush, which is securely concealed within the chrome-plated handle when not in use.
  • Pain Sensitivity: Evaluated utilizing the testing needle, which is contained within the hammer’s head assembly.

This 7.5-inch tool features a durable chrome-plated handle and is explicitly formulated to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

What is the length of this neurological hammer?

The ADC Buck Neurological Hammer has an overall length of 7.5 inches (19.05 cm). This dimension is designed to provide optimal balance and ease of handling during neurological assessments.
