Hoen Dura Hook blunt 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled elevation and atraumatic retraction of the dura mater during cranial procedures. The blunt hook tip permits secure engagement of the dural edge or flap without sharp penetration, reducing the risk of dural tearing and minimizing contact trauma to the underlying cortex. Common uses include primary dural retraction during craniotomy, creation or inspection of dural windows, and temporary tissue control while securing sutures or applying hemostatic agents.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended blunt hook geometry provides a low-profile contact point that distributes force over a small, rounded area to reduce tissue focal stress. The 22 cm overall length gives surgeons extended reach into the surgical field while maintaining a rigid shaft for precise manipulation. The hook’s distal profile facilitates controlled lift and retraction of dural tissue without sharp penetration, which is important when working near cortex, bridging veins, or dural sinuses.
