Krayenbuehl nerve hook 7 1/4" large angled 3.5mm long ball tip round handle with finger rest

Controlled Angled Access for Precise Nerve Exposure

The Krayenbuehl nerve hook is a surgical hook designed for controlled lifting, retraction, and identification of delicate structures during operative work. Its angled profile and long 3.5 mm ball tip support access into focused working areas while presenting a rounded contact point for measured tissue handling. The 7 1/4-inch length provides useful reach, and the round handle with finger rest supports a stable, deliberate grip during extended instrument manipulation. Suitable for workflow contexts in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this hook offers a practical combination of reach, tip definition, and handling control for tasks requiring careful positioning rather than broad retraction.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled lifting or gentle retraction of structures during General Surgery procedures.
• Apply the angled profile when access or instrument positioning is limited by the operative approach.
• Use the long 3.5 mm ball tip for focused contact during nerve or tissue identification tasks.
• Support Neurosurgery workflows that require deliberate manipulation and visualization around confined operative areas.
• Use the round handle and finger rest to maintain a steady hand position during precise hook placement.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to applicable facility protocols and the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled shaft, ball tip, handle, and finger rest before and after use for visible soil, damage, or deformation.
• Handle the ball tip carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve its rounded working surface.
• Store the hook in a manner that prevents contact damage to the tip and maintains clear identification for the next procedure.

General use; follow facility protocols.
