Clinical Application
Designed for otologic and general ENT procedures, this hook provides controlled retraction and secure engagement of the auricle and soft tissues around the external auditory canal. The rounded button tip allows the instrument to lift, mobilize, or stabilize tissue without sharp penetration—useful during canaloplasty, tympanoplasty assistance, removal of packing, and suture placement where atraumatic handling is required.
Design & Configuration
The Lucae Fig.1 geometry delivers a slim, precise hook profile that permits access in the confined working space of the ear while maintaining visibility of the surgical field. The buttoned tip distributes contact force across a small area to reduce tissue trauma and slippage. The 14 cm length offers adequate reach for most adult otologic exposures without excessive bulk, making it suitable for both primary surgeon and assistant use.
