Reflex Hammer

thingiverse

This is a custom-designed reflex (patella) hammer intended for use by doctors worldwide. It was conceived through collaboration with the Humanitarian Engineering & Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) Program at Penn State University, which is partnering with Project Kijenzi to provide essential healthcare services in underserved regions struggling to access these necessities. Our goal was to create a lightweight, cost-effective design that can be efficiently mass-produced for medical professionals working in low-income areas around the globe. After initial challenges related to screw and tap size, our team successfully resolved these issues by implementing a secure fastening system for the two components.
