Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic identification, isolation and gentle retraction of peripheral nerves and adjacent delicate soft tissue. Commonly used in peripheral nerve repair, neurosurgical microdissection, hand and plastic surgery, and ENT procedures where precise, minimal-contact manipulation of neural structures is required. The fine hooked tip permits the surgeon to lift or mobilize a nerve safely for visualization, measurement, or placement of a suture or vessel loop.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's single-ended fine hook geometry provides a focused contact point that reduces surface pressure on neural tissue compared with broader retractors. The 18.5 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and tactile control, allowing access into confined operative fields without excessive shaft bulk. A slender, rigid shaft transmits precise fingertip control to the hook tip for delicate dissection and controlled retraction.
