Moldestad nerve/vein/tendon hook 6 1/4" 1 blunt prong 7.0mm wide round handle

Controlled Access for Delicate Tissue Retraction

The Moldestad nerve/vein/tendon hook is a surgical hook designed for controlled engagement and gentle retraction of delicate anatomical structures during operative exposure. Its single blunt prong provides a focused contact point, while the 7.0 mm width supports clear, deliberate handling at the working site. The 6 1/4-inch length offers useful reach for tasks in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, helping maintain working distance while positioning tissue, vessels, nerves, or tendons. A round handle supports familiar manual manipulation through repeated adjustments, making this hook a practical choice for precise tissue handling within established surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Retract or position nerves, veins, and tendons during General Surgery procedures requiring focused tissue handling.
• Support controlled exposure around delicate structures in Neurosurgery without introducing a sharp prong.
• Use the single blunt prong to engage a defined area when a focused hook contact is preferred.
• Apply the 6 1/4-inch reach when access or working distance benefits from a longer-handled hook.
• Make incremental positioning adjustments using the round handle during operative exposure.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the blunt prong, working end, and handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or residue.
• Handle the prong carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve its intended shape.
