Crile Nerve Hook 20cm Fig.2

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic nerve identification, isolation and controlled retraction during delicate dissections. The instrument's narrow profile and hooked tip allow surgeons to tease apart tissue planes, elevate and protect nerve fascicles, and pass vessel loops or ties around neurovascular structures without compressive trauma. Common settings include peripheral nerve surgery, neurosurgery (superficial nerve work), ENT and head & neck procedures, and reconstructive cases where precise blunt dissection is required.

Design & Configuration

The long 20 cm shank provides reach into deeper operative fields while keeping the surgeon's hand out of the immediate exposure. The single-ended hook geometry concentrates tip engagement so the operator can control tension and directionality when isolating a nerve. The Fig.2 designation denotes a specific hook profile used to provide secure, low-profile engagement of slender structures during fine dissection.
