Krayenbuhl Nerve and Vessel Hook 19cm, Fig.2

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic engagement and controlled manipulation of small nerves and vessels, this hook is used during delicate dissection and exposure in peripheral nerve surgery, microvascular procedures, ENT, plastic and reconstructive cases, and other soft-tissue operations where precise isolation is required. The instrument allows the surgeon to elevate, retract, or pass vessel loops/ligatures around a structure with minimal tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Fig.2 Krayenbühl geometry provides a fine, well-defined hook tip at the working end and a long, slender shaft for enhanced reach and visibility in confined or deep operative fields. The hook configuration permits secure but gentle engagement of nerves and small-caliber vessels, offering tactile feedback and controlled retraction during delicate maneuvers.
