Superior Flexibility for Precise Neurological Screenings
Elevate your diagnostic accuracy with the Queen Square Percussion Hammer by AMG Medical. A favorite among Canadian neurologists and medical students, this instrument is distinct from standard hammers due to its flexible nylon handle. This design allows the weight of the head to generate the percussion force through a "swinging" motion, rather than the user's wrist force, resulting in more consistent and gentle reflex elicitation.
The hammer features a soft black rubber ring (bumper) for patient comfort during chest and muscle percussion, and a tapered end point specifically designed for testing plantar reflexes (Babinski sign). Whether you prefer the compact 9-inch model for your lab coat or the standard 12-inch for maximum leverage, this tool is essential for comprehensive neurological examinations.
Key Features & Benefits
