ADC 3694BK Tromner Neurological Reflex Hammer with Built-in Brush

Perfect reflex hammer for a full neuro exam and great price

Good quality!

Works perfectly. It has a brush to test the sensation within it. The only thing that would make it better would be if there was a sharp-dull needle in built to it, which this one doesn't but some other companies do. Other than that, this product is worth the money.

This reflex hammer is great. It is comparable to the MDF version of this tool. If you are a poor medical student or resident looking for a decently priced Tromner, this item will suit your needs well. Other reviews note that the shaft seems slightly flexible, which it is, if you grab it by both hands and try to bend it. The flex is not appreciable when eliciting reflexes. It may actually be an advantage considering the mechanics of DTR testing, and in terms of durability. Indeed the MDF Tromner I ordered previously came with the shaft broken near the head. The MDF tool is made of a more stiff/brittle material. Overall I think the two products are very comparable in efficacy, and for half the price I favor this ADC Tromner. Besides if you are going into neurology or PM&R, etc. you are probably going to buy a tool nicer than either of the afore mentioned anyway.

This is a great reflex hammer that has good weight to it to help with finding reflexes. The handle is almost weightless so all of the weight is in the head of the hammer. The price is also excellent. Unfortunately, my first item arrived with a warped handle so I had to return it.

Excelente martillo de reflejos. Aun luego de años de uso luce casi como el primer dia en que lo recibi, se siente muy bien usarlo. No tengo ninguna de queja del mismo.

I needed a tromner reflex hammer for my neurology rotations, so I decided to try this one out. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it since I am not sure if I will stay in neurology after this rotation, so this one was the best compromise between price and quality. The handle is plastic rather than a nice sturdy metal, but it seems sturdy enough and should hold up. All the parts can screw off and be replaced if they break, which is nice. Not sure I will ever use the brush since it can’t easily be disinfected, but it’s a nice feature in theory.

Used during a neurology rotation in school. Very sturdy. The plastic handle and heavier metal head allows for a nice swinging motion. Fits reasonably well in white coat pocket. This style of hammer is probably the best compared to other styles (taylor, queen, etc.), in my opinion. Compared to the all metal versions of this hammer, the weight distribution of this one is quite nice. I don't think there is a big tradeoff between metal and plastic handles in terms of durability.

It's perfect. It's much better than the Taylor hammers for getting a reflex, and you don't look like a cartoon doctor while you use it. Nice and weighty at the end and very easy and satisfying to use. The knurling on the hammer ends unscrew so you could theoretically replace the rubber tips if you could find the replacement parts. The spike at the bottom is ideal to check for a Babinski, and it unscrews to reveal... A metal brush? What's that for? None of the neurologists knew. Might be some kind of old-timey thing we don't use anymore. Anyway it's a great item and a big upgrade from a Taylor hammer (sometimes called a "tomahawk").

A MI ME HA ENCANTADO. Y LO PREFIERO AL MODELO QUE ES TOTALMENTE METÁLICO.

El pedido me llego en 3 días, a buenas condiciones y a buen precio. Por lo tanto, es confiable.

I am a medical student. I had bought and then misplaced my MDC Tromner hammer. As those were out of stock, I bought this as a replacement hammer instead to tide me over until the MDC ones were in stock again. Luckily this one works just as well and I honestly cannot tell the difference between the two. So I haven't bothered to buy the MDC one again. This hammer is nicely weighted and elicits reflexes reliably as long as you know how to use a Tromner. Some people prefer Queens Square hammers but this one fits in your pocket!

Buen artículo funcional y estético
