Barbara Micro hook 90

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate manipulation in microsurgical settings, this 90° micro hook is used to lift, retract or mobilize fine tissues and membranes where a low-profile, angulated tip improves access. Typical applications include ophthalmic anterior segment and oculoplastic procedures, ENT and laryngeal work, neuro/microsurgery for arachnoid or dural membrane handling, and reconstructive procedures requiring atraumatic point retraction or suture passage in confined cavities.

Design & Configuration

The 90-degree bend positions the tip perpendicular to the shaft, enabling access around curved anatomy and under overhangs while keeping the shaft clear of the operating field. A fine, tapered hook concentrates force at a small contact point for controlled engagement and minimal tissue distortion. The low-profile geometry facilitates visualization under the microscope and allows precise directional control during microdissection, adhesion release, or passage of sutures and ligatures.
