Cushing Nerve Hook small 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling and fine dissection, this instrument is used to isolate, elevate, and gently retract delicate nerves and neural structures. Common applications include intracranial and spinal microsurgery, peripheral nerve repair, and procedures where precise, low-profile retraction is required in confined operative corridors. The small hook tip allows surgeons to tease apart adhesions, pass suture or vessel loops underneath neural tissue, and protect nerves while performing adjacent dissection or coagulation.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s single small hook and fine-profile shaft minimize tissue disruption while providing tactile feedback during delicate maneuvers. At 28 cm overall length, the shaft offers reach into deeper operative fields without requiring excessive hand intrusion into the wound. The slender geometry improves visualization and allows controlled, precise movements when isolating small-caliber nerves or working around neurovascular bundles.
