GI Knee Hammer

Description

Gi Knee Hammer, a specialized reflex assessment tool tailored for precise evaluation of knee joint reflexes. Crafted with the utmost care and ergonomic considerations, this hammer ensures both clinician comfort and reliable performance in diverse clinical settings.

Designed with a comfortable ergonomic handle, the Gi Knee Hammer provides healthcare professionals with a secure grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. Its durable construction ensures longevity, making it a trusted companion for orthopaedic, neurological, and rehabilitation assessments.

The hallmark of the Gi Knee Hammer lies in its unique triangular-shaped head, meticulously engineered to facilitate accurate tapping on the patellar tendon. This design not only elicits myotatic and plantar responses with minimal effort but also enhances patient comfort during examinations.

The thermo-plastic-rubber triangular head features a bevelled apex and base, enabling precise stimulation of target areas to provoke myotatic reflexes effectively. Its soft base and rounded apex are adept at eliciting responses from tendons, making it versatile for various clinical examinations, including chest sounds and abdominal percussion.

Furthermore, the weighted chrome-plated handle of the Gi Knee Hammer ensures optimal balance, granting healthcare professionals increased control over percussion force. A secure encircling band with a pin firmly holds the triangular head in place, preventing slippage and maintaining consistency in assessments.
