The Taylor Percussion Hammer is a tomahawk-style reflex hammer with a triangular rubber head and a solid, balanced handle, typically 17–20cm long. It was the first hammer specifically designed for eliciting deep tendon reflexes, with a broad edge for larger tendons and a rounded apex for smaller ones. Many models also feature a pointed tip at the base for testing cutaneous reflexes like the Babinski sign. It is a reusable, autoclavable diagnostic tool widely used in clinical and veterinary neurological examinations.
