Reflex Hammers

The 1M4 microfilament functions as a neurological diagnostic instrument, specifically designed for detecting nerve damage. It is commonly employed in the diagnostic assessment of conditions like diabetic foot, providing a means to assess and evaluate neurological functions.

For this purpose, the elastic plastic filament of the instrument is pressed vertically with significant force onto the sole of the patient's foot until the filament bends straight. If the patient feels nothing, there is a suspected neuropathy. After use, the filament can be retracted into the handle, protecting the plastic thread inside.

The Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork can be used to diagnose polyneuropathy damage, as well as to detect hearing damage. The calibrated tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 64 Hz (with dampers) or 128 Hz (without dampers). The dampers and the base of the tuning fork can be removed.

When used in neurology, the tuning fork is used to examine the patient's vibration sensation (pallaesthesia). This allows a diagnosis to be made about the patient's depth sensitivity, which is reduced in polyneuropathies. Younger people should be able to perceive minimal vibrations (scale value 8 out of 8). People with increasing age often show a slightly reduced vibration sensation (scale value 6 of 8). If the values are below six, this indicates the presence of a polyneuropathy.

In ENT medicine, the Rydel-Seiffer medical tuning fork is used in addition to a hearing test. The tuning fork can be used to easily detect hearing damage on one side (Weber test) and to differentiate between middle ear and inner ear hearing loss (Rinne test).

The Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork for neurologists from KaWe can be used to detect early damage to the nervous system or even hearing damage. Due to its removable dampers, it can produce two frequencies - c128 and c64 Hz. The patient's vibration sensation can be objectively measured by means of the scaling on the back of the dampers.

The tuning fork has a material thickness of approx. 8 mm and a length of approx. 24 cm. It is made of steel and nickel-plated. It also has a plastic base.

The Tromner reflex hammer traditionally features a double functional head with one large and one small end (their use depends on the width of the tested tendon). Thanks to its rounded handle, the Tromner reflex hammer fits particularly well in the hand.

With a weight of 200 gr, this hammer is a heavy version, additionally equipped with a brush and pin. It is made of German medical steel and measures 27 cm. The larger functional head is designed to test the reflexes on the large tendons of the extensor muscles (e.g. patellar tendon reflex), while the smaller head end is designed to test the flexor muscle tendons - for example, to test the biceps optic reflex.

You can now engrave the handle of your new Tromner Reflex Hammer!

With the new engraving function, you can now individualise your new Tromner Reflex Hammer. You can use our online configuration tool. Please note that individualised products can't be returned and that we are not yet able to engrave emojis. You will find additional information and products on our Laser Engraving Page.

Thanks to it's heavy design, the tromner reflex hammer  always swings evenly, providing clear reflex patterns. The additional equipment - the brush and pin - also allow for more in-depth sensitivity testing, e.g. in testing the Babinski reflex.

The Wartenberg Pinwheel is a small sensitivity testing tool originally designed by Robert Wartenberg. It consists of a fixed handle bar and a small rotating wheel covered in pins. The neurological diagnostic device is made of stainless medical steel and can be both disinfected and sterilised.

• Pinwheel for sensitivity testing
• Chequered handle for a secure grip
• Small, smooth-running wheel
• Made from medical-grade stainless steel
• Non-corrosive
• Can be disinfected and sterilised

In order to diagnose a condition, the Wartenberg pinwheel is slowly rolled over the affected skin areas and the patient is to describe the sensation. Therefore, the pressure and pain stimuli can be graded in terms of severity. The pins on the Wartenberg pinwheel are sharp enough to stimulate specific points without penetrating the skin.For hygienic reasons, we recommend disinfecting the pins and the wheel after each use with a patient.
