Reflex Hammer with Built-In Pin
Neurol 41:334, Finelli,P.F., 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Medical schools should assume the responsibility of discontinuing the sale of reflex hammers with a build-in pin/pinwheel in their bookstores.This, likewise,applies to similar instruments used to test superficial pain sensation such as the Wartenberg pinwheel.Indeed,just as Ebstein argues in 1912 against the practice of using the hammer shaft as a tongue blade,the time has come to ban the use of all such"medical instruments"that risk transmission of a potentially fatal disease.
