Moldestad nerve/vein/tendon hook 6 1/4" 1 blunt prong 9.0mm wide round handle

Controlled Access for Nerve, Vein, and Tendon Handling

The Moldestad nerve/vein/tendon hook is a surgical hook designed to assist with gentle, controlled engagement and positioning of nerves, veins, and tendons during operative exposure. Its single blunt prong provides a focused contact point for defined tissue handling, while the 6 1/4-inch length supports access within the operative field. The 9.0 mm width and round handle contribute to a practical grasp and deliberate manipulation during general surgery and neurosurgery workflows. By combining a blunt tip profile with a purpose-specific hook form, it supports clear, measured handling when controlled retraction or positioning is required.

Use Cases

• Assist with controlled engagement and positioning of nerves during general surgery procedures.
• Support deliberate handling of veins when focused access and tissue positioning are required.
• Help expose or reposition tendons using the single blunt prong.
• Provide a focused hook option for neurosurgical workflows involving nerve handling and operative exposure.
• Use the extended 6 1/4-inch form to reach into the operative field while maintaining a practical working grip.
