Barbara Micro hook 90

Clinical Application

This 90° micro hook is intended for precise tissue manipulation and controlled traction in microsurgical environments. Its fine single-point tip is suited to membrane elevation, initial grasping or teasing of delicate tissue planes, and creating small focal points of traction under microscopic visualization. Common procedural contexts include ophthalmic anterior and posterior segment work, ENT microsurgery, and other procedures where atraumatic, high-precision hooking is required.

Design & Configuration

The 90° bend in the shaft provides an orthogonal approach to the operative field, enabling surgeons to apply traction or lift tissues while maintaining a clear line of sight under the microscope. The micro-scale single-point hook concentrates force at a small contact area to allow tactile feedback and controlled engagement of membranes or fine tissue without broad-scale crushing. The slim profile reduces obstruction in tight operative corridors and permits close instrument pairing (for example, simultaneous use with microforceps or scissors).
