Article 01-134-18

18 cm
Stocking a single, dependable length of the Taylor hammer simplifies things for a practice that does not need multiple size options on hand. The Article 01-134-18 is the 18 cm version of this classic triangular head pattern, sized for clinicians who prefer a slightly longer swing when testing deep tendon reflexes.
The wedge shaped rubber head is what sets the Taylor pattern apart from rounder hammer designs. It concentrates the tap along a defined edge rather than a broad rounded surface, which many clinicians find gives a cleaner, more localized stimulus over the patellar tendon. For a physician working through a full clinic day, that precision reduces the guesswork in eliciting a clear reflex response the first time.
This length works well across a range of settings, including:
Routine physical exams where reflex testing is part of the standard workup
Neurological screening in general practice and internal medicine
Pre-operative assessments requiring baseline reflex documentation
Training environments where a single, familiar hammer pattern is a natural fit for students
As part of our clinical diagnostic instruments range, this hammer is built to hold its shape and grip through repeated use, which matters for a tool that gets picked up dozens of times a day. A clinic standardizing on one hammer length across its exam rooms will find this a practical, no fuss choice. Equip your examination rooms with this reliable tool.
