Murphy nerve hook 9" angled 90º 2.0mm ball tip flat handle

Controlled Reach for General Surgical Nerve Handling

The Murphy nerve hook is a 9-inch angled instrument designed for controlled handling and positioning of nerves during general surgery. Its 90-degree configuration supports access around operative anatomy, while the 2.0 mm ball tip provides a defined contact point for careful engagement. The flat handle offers a familiar surface for instrument control during focused surgical tasks. As a hook within the general surgery instrument set, it is suited to workflows that call for extended reach, a precise angled profile, and deliberate tissue handling without adding unnecessary complexity to the procedure.

Use Cases

• Use for engaging and gently positioning nerves during general surgical procedures.
• Employ the 90-degree angle when access around adjacent anatomy requires a redirected approach.
• Use the 2.0 mm ball tip for a defined contact point during controlled nerve handling.
• Apply the 9-inch length when additional reach is useful within the operative field.
• Incorporate into general surgery workflows requiring a nerve hook with a flat handle for instrument control.

Specifications

Care & Handling
