The clinician strikes a tendon with the rubber head to elicit a reflex response, which provides information about the integrity of the associated nerve root and spinal cord segment. Common reflex tests include the patellar, Achilles, biceps, triceps, and brachioradialis reflexes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this hammer contain latex?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The rubber head of this Taylor hammer contains latex. It is not appropriate for use with patients who have latex allergies or sensitivities. For latex-sensitive patients, consider a latex-free reflex hammer alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is non-retail packaging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-retail packaging means the product is supplied without consumer retail packaging such as a branded box or blister pack. The hammer is supplied in plain or bulk packaging, making it well-suited for clinical and institutional purchasing but not for display on retail shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Taylor hammer different from other reflex hammers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor hammer features a distinctive triangular rubber head that provides a broad striking surface for reliable tendon percussion. It is the most commonly used reflex hammer in general clinical practice. Other reflex hammer styles — such as the Babinski, Queen Square, and Tromner hammers — have different head shapes and are preferred for specific neurological testing applications or clinical traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fabrication Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388663836726,"sku":"4141","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/fabrication-enterprises-nerve-sensory-evaluator-access-default-title-fabrication-enterprises-taylor-percussion-hammer-chrome-handle-7-5-inch-23632040132662.jpg?v=1788638816","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/fabrication-enterprises-taylor-percussion-hammer-chrome-handle-7-5-inch","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
