21cm
Neurological screening depends on a hammer that delivers the same controlled tap every time, and the TROEMNER-SIMPLEX pattern has earned its place in clinical bags for exactly that reason. This 21cm instrument follows the classic Troemner disc head design, a compact circular striking surface that clinicians have relied on for generations of deep tendon reflex testing. Among NextEdge Surgical’s diagnostic instruments, this hammer remains a preferred choice for neurologists and general practitioners who want a compact, no-fuss tool for routine reflex assessment.
The disc shaped head distributes percussion force evenly across the tendon, which helps produce a consistent reflex response without requiring excessive swing force from the examiner. A shorter, well balanced handle length like this one gives clinicians better control during rapid successive taps, which matters when comparing reflexes side to side during a full neurological exam. Key advantages include:
21cm overall length suited to controlled, close range percussion technique
Disc head design that concentrates striking force for a clean, repeatable tendon response
Compact profile that fits easily into an exam room drawer or physician bag
Simplex pattern favored for straightforward biceps, triceps, patellar, and Achilles reflex testing
This hammer suits general practice, neurology clinics, physical therapy evaluations, and any setting where quick, reliable reflex screening is part of the standard exam. Its long standing design has held up across decades of clinical use precisely because it does the job without complication. Add the TROEMNER-SIMPLEX hammer to your exam room today.
