Babinski Hammers and Wartenburg Pinwheels

Ah, the Babinski Hammer. It is the instrument of choice for, neurologists and is named after the French Neurologist, Joseph Francois Babinski, best known for the "toe phenomenon". This diagnostic instrument is also often referred to as the Rabiner for the version with a swivel head. Modern Babinski Hammers are often modified to incorporate contemporary design and functionality for eliciting myotatic and plantar response with less effort and greater patient comfort.

Then there's the Wartenburg Pinwheel. You've got to love that name. It designed for evaluation of gross cutaneous sensory perception and pain perception responses.

Another item we have recently made a sale with is Elta Dry Hydrogel TD by Elta Swiss American PDT. This is a highly useful ultra thin, highly conformable, sterile, multilayered absorptive wound dressings that has four layers: Acrylic Skin Adhesive, Polyester Knit Fabric, Dry Hydrogel, and Polyurethane Film. The dry hydrogel offers controlled absorption and provides superior fluid management for a longer period of time. Made for the management of dermal ulcers and superficial wounds.

More soon. Later my medical, clinical, and home healthcare friends.
