Crile nerve hook 8" blunt 7.0mm hook flat handle

Controlled Access and Handling Across Surgical Workflows

The Crile nerve hook is an 8-inch surgical hook with a blunt 7.0 mm hook and flat handle, intended for controlled engagement, retraction, or positioning of tissue and anatomical structures during operative work. Its extended length supports access within the operative field, while the blunt tip provides a non-sharp contact point for deliberate manipulation. The flat handle offers a straightforward grasping surface during instrument handling. Suitable for General Surgery and Neurosurgery workflows, this specialty-neutral instrument supports organized work when access, visualization, and measured tissue handling are important.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled blunt hooking, retraction, or positioning of tissue and anatomical structures during operative procedures.
• Support access to structures within the operative field where the 8-inch length is useful.
• Use the flat handle for deliberate instrument positioning and manipulation.
• Apply in General Surgery workflows requiring a blunt hook for controlled tissue handling.
• Apply in Neurosurgery workflows where measured access and non-sharp contact are appropriate.

Specifications

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blunt hook and flat handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the hook profile and instrument surfaces.
• Store in a manner that protects the hook from contact damage and keeps the instrument readily identifiable.
