MDF Buck Neurological Hammer - Free-Parts-for-Life & (MDF515) (Black (NoirNoir))

The head measures about 2 and a half by half inches when I opened the box to this hammer. I thought I had been shortchanged because of its compact size. I thought the thing was tiny, but when I swung the hammer I realized it did have Applying the standard amount of force to elicit a reflex will suffice if you are smooth and gentle with movement. have to whack your tendon or your digit to get it to The steel handle is also roughened so you can hold it between your thumb and index finger easily. The feel of the deck is far superior to that of A tomahawk hammer with a handle. A semi-circular point is located at the end of the handle You can use it since it has a point to test for sensory perception, but unlike daggers on some hammers, it isn't sharp enough to break the skin. This end screws off so you can reveal a small brush that you can also use for sensory testing. It has a little bit of a scratchy feel to it, but I believe the bristles can be easily softened by rubbing it against Most of the time, you'd use a disposable cotton-ball In any case, the applicator was tipped for this job. Considering its small size and portability, this is a great hammer for someone walking all day who needs a pocket or purse-sized tool that's effective as well. My career as a physician will involve repeated use of this tool.

The first thing I want to say is that I did not receive an MDF reflex hammer, but It wouldn't matter because they are so similar that they would be equally ineffective. The round handle will spin in your hand so the tip doesn't make a proper strike and won't get a response to it, and the long handle requires more force. In addition, the head is not at all heavy, so it means you must put in even more force in order to swing it. Initially, I also thought this jacket style would look good during my rotation in neurology, but this particular style did not quite fit the bill. After using it on people with hard to get reflexes anyway, I would prefer the heavier style (or queens style) with the blade-shaped handle, since carrying around a heavier one in your coat pocket wouldn't be as difficult and it would be much easier to obtain As I am a medical student and I'll only be in neurology for a short while, you might think it would be okay to just keep using it, but man, is it a frustrating instrument and it's too light and awkward to swing.

It's not like I want to purchase a huge hammer to lug around on every other service.

There are two parts to the reflex hammer. There is a piece that does not screw into another, either because it was manufactured incorrectly or it was manufactured incorrectly. Sadly, it is too late to return the item, as I bought it back in January when I bought a lot of medical supplies The reason I didn't see it until now is just that I didn't need it until now, so I didn't notice the.

The weight of the hammer is perfect, but the tips are a hard, cheap plastic that will sting both your fingers and the patient in the process. A rubber tip hammer will be a better choice if you plan to use it more than a few times.

It has a cheap feel to it.

As you can see from the picture, the one I got had a different handle from what was shown, but it worked perfectly.
