designed for delicate nerve manipulation, dissection, and tissue mobilization during neurosurgical procedures. Developed in the Rhoton pattern, the hook features a 90‑degree angled working end with a semi‑sharp tip, enabling controlled engagement of fine neural and vascular structures while minimizing unintended trauma. Manufactured from titanium, the instrument offers excellent strength‑to‑weight performance and reduced hand fatigue during prolonged microsurgical cases. It is intended for repeated clinical use following appropriate cleaning and sterilization. [aspensurgical.com], [mms.mckesson.com]
