Lahey Dura Hook 13cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical procedures that require controlled elevation and mobilization of the dura mater. The hook is used during craniotomy and other cranial approaches to gently lift or retract dural edges, separate adhesions, and expose the surgical field while minimizing focal stress on dural tissue. Its size and tip profile allow for precise tactile feedback when working in the subdural or epidural planes.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended hook configuration provides direct, tactile control for precise elevation and manipulation of delicate meningeal tissue. A fine, atraumatic tip distributes contact force across a small curved surface to reduce the risk of tearing the dura during retraction. At 13 cm overall length the instrument offers a balance of reach and maneuverability for use within the cranial defect while remaining compact enough for hand-held, single-surgeon use.
