Babinsky Percussion Hammers, 22 cm (8 3/4")

Product Overview

The Babinsky percussion hammer is a neurological diagnostic instrument named after the French neurologist Dr. Joseph François Félix Babinski, best known for his description of the Babinski reflex (plantar response) in 1896.

Babinsky vs Babinski: The spelling "Babinsky" is a common variant of "Babinski," referring to the same instrument design—a disc-like metal head with a rubber rim and a metal handle.

The 22 cm (8 3/4") model is a standard-size neurological hammer designed to elicit deep tendon reflexes (knee, ankle, biceps, and triceps) and cutaneous responses during neurological examinations. It is available as a reusable instrument, typically manufactured from chrome-plated brass or stainless steel.
