Vascular hook 9 1/2" angled 45º, graduated 6.0mm tip round handle

Controlled Reach for Vascular Tissue Handling

The vascular hook is a general surgery instrument designed for controlled tissue retraction and manipulation during vascular and related operative tasks. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides useful reach into the operative field, while the 45º angled profile helps orient the 6.0 mm graduated tip for deliberate engagement and positioning. The round handle supports a familiar grasp during careful instrument handling. Together, these design details offer a practical combination of access, tip visibility, and controlled contact for workflows requiring a hook rather than a straight instrument. Its focused configuration supports precise, task-oriented handling without adding unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Engage and gently retract tissue during vascular surgical exposure.
• Use the 45º angled profile to approach structures from a non-straight orientation.
• Apply the graduated 6.0 mm tip for controlled hook positioning during tissue handling.
• Use the 9 1/2-inch length when additional reach into the operative field is useful.
• Maintain a steady grasp with the round handle during deliberate manipulation.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the angled shaft, graduated tip, and round handle for damage, deformation, residue, or surface changes before use.
• Handle the tip carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help preserve its intended shape.
• Store the hook in a manner that protects the angled tip from contact or impact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
