Selected User Reviews For ADC 3694BK Tromner Neurological Reflex Hammer with Built-In Brush, black, chrome
There is something great about this reflex hammer. This tool is similar to the one found in the MDF format. In the event that you are a medical student or resident on a tight budget looking for a decently priced Tromner, this item fits the bill. There are other reviews that note that the shaft seems a bit flexible, which it is if you grasp it with both hands and Reflexes are not triggered by flex, so the flex is not an important factor. Due to the mechanics of DTR testing, and considering the durability of the test itself, this may actually be advantageous. I was quite disappointed to find that the MDF tromner I ordered previously had It is made of an MDF material, which is stiffer and more brittle. For half the price, I favor the ADC Tromner. I think both products are very effective in their respective fields, and they are very comparable in effectiveness. Additionally, if you are going into neurology or PM&R, you will need to take math. Even if you buy R, etc. , you likely will get a better tool than either of those previously mentioned.
Before getting this reflex hammer, I was using a cheap one and I didn't realize what a difference would make using a quality reflex hammer! With this hammer, it is easy to check reflexes because the weight is evenly distributed. As a result, it feels very sturdy and I can easily throw it in my bag along with my other supplies while I am walking Additionally, I really like the fact that it has a microfilament built in. Only one thing I must warn you of is that people will be jealous and attempt.
I'm using it for my neurology rotations, so I thought I'd give it a go since I needed a tromner reflex hammer for my rotations. In order to get the best price and quality, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it, as I don't know if I will stay in neurology after this rotation. Plastic is used for the handle rather than a nice metal, but it seems strong enough to have a long lifespan. It is easy to take the parts off and replace them if they break as well, which is nice. Not sure I will use the brush given how difficult it is to disinfect it, however it is a nice feature in concept.
Having had one of the regular old school tomahawk reflex hammers, I realized I had been missing out after seeing my classmate use his. As a result, I spent a bit more than usual, but it was worth it to me.
The MDF Hammer has been lost. I bought it to replace the previous one, it works Despite the fact that this is a little cheaper, both items will do the job the same way. If you want to use the filaments under the sharp point they are too stiff and have funny cuts, but I don't know anyone who uses those (seems unsanitary to use multiple patients with the same filaments).
What else do you need? The aim is easy, the coverage is good, and the cleaning is easy. There are only a few reflexes we do, but it definitely works for L&P You should use D for this! In the circle design, the hammer portion doesn't fall out like the triangle version does.
It has been very helpful for my medical school rotations in my third year.
This is a very sturdy product. A nice swing is facilitated by the plastic handle and the heavier metal head. It fits within the pocket of a white coat reasonably well. As a matter of fact, I believe that this style of hammer is the best among the others (Taylor, Queen, etc. ). When compared with all metal models of this hammer, this one seems to have a very good weight distribution. In terms of durability, I don't see any major difference between plastic and metal handles.
