Bos Medicare Surgical Knee Hammer

Overview Bos Medicare Surgical Knee Hammer

The Bos Medicare Surgical Knee Hammer, featuring a stainless steel shaft and silicone rubber mallet head, possesses a distinctive T-shape design. This reflex hammer, a crucial neurological examination tool, helps clinicians assess deep tendon reflexes. Evaluating these reflexes is vital for identifying central or peripheral nervous system irregularities. The reflex response intensity indicates potential central (hyperreflexia – exaggerated reflexes) or peripheral (hyporeflexia – diminished reflexes) nervous system dysfunction. While stimulus strength influences reflex magnitude, consistent force application remains challenging due to hammer variations. To minimize reflex intensity in hyperreflexia, clinicians often interpose a finger between hammer and tendon. Consult the included instructions for proper use. For safekeeping, avoid heat (silicone melts at high temperatures), maintain storage in a cool, dry environment, adhere to label instructions, and keep out of reach of children.
