Giraffe Reflex Hammer for Kids – Pediatric Percussion Hammer with User-friendly Design, Non-Toxic & Latex-Free, Comfortable and Soothing Tool for Doctors & Nurses in Clinics and Hospitals

I'm a pediatrics resident and this little hammer has joined me on my journey. I personally like it over the metal / orange plastic triangle cheap reflex hammer, the angulation of the nose actually does a little bit better on reflexes (my subjective experience).Now, when you use it with kids, you'll find a couple things:1) Kids will be entertained by it and be interested in it.2) Kids will want to play with it, and be careful, because basically it's giving the little ones a tiny hammer to go around the room hitting things with. Choose carefully. Keep it out of view.Last week I was in neurodevelopment clinic and a kid with a lot of things going on decided to break the thing! I can attest that it didn't break, it bent a little and then went back to normal shape. This little Giraffe has been tested against an angry kid set on its destruction and survived.

Idk if I’ve ever actually used this as a reflex hammer, however this is actually great for catching a little kid’s eye and entertaining them while you auscultate or something. This paired with my turtle flashlight = good distraction. And it’s cute. If your on some sort of peds rotation, might as well get it.

Es mas lindo que útil, pero si sirve

Got this for my daughter working her way through med school. She and the kids she examines love it.

The painting erases really easy

Bought this for my peds rotation and it's a great toy to distract the kids during physical exams (even when you're looking in their ears).Also works fine as a reflex hammer. Obviously you get what you pay for, and it won't have the nice feel of a Queen Square neuro hammer, but I found this to be just as functional as my student-grade Taylor design hammer.I've only been carrying this around for a month so I don't know how well it wears and if the colors will stay nice and bright, but at this price I guess it doesn't really matter.

Purchased as a gift for my daughter who is about to graduate medical school as a Pediatrician. Good quality and very cute. I purchased it as a distraction "toy" for toddlers while they undergo their physical exam. Easily disinfected between patients. Quick shipping and good product!

This hammer is so cute! Kids love it! I'm a med student and used it throughout my peds rotation. Works well for little kiddos, but older teens and adults probably require a real reflex hammer
