Article 01-130-18

18.5 cm
Compact and direct, the BUCK pattern reflex hammer is built for clinicians who want a no nonsense tool for everyday neurological screening. At 18.5 centimeters, it is one of the shorter hammers in a typical exam kit, with a solid rubber head shaped for a firm, precise tap and a pointed tip for more localized testing when needed.

Its shorter length gives the clinician tighter control over the strike, which matters when testing patients who move or tense up during the exam. Rather than relying on a long swinging arc, the Buck pattern is meant to be used with a shorter, more deliberate motion from the wrist, making it a good fit for exam rooms where space is limited or where quick, repeated testing across many patients is the norm.

Typical uses include:

Deep tendon reflex testing during routine exams

Quick neurological screening in busy primary care settings

Pediatric and adult exams where a compact tool is preferred

General practice and urgent care neurological checks

Because it is compact enough to carry in a coat pocket or small kit, this hammer suits clinicians who move between exam rooms throughout the day. It belongs among the essential diagnostic instruments kept within reach for fast, reliable reflex testing. Order the Article 01-130-18 for your clinic today.
