Description
The V. Mueller AU13170 Nerve Hook / Probe is a precision stainless steel instrument designed for delicate manipulation, probing, and minimal retraction of fine anatomical structures during surgical procedures.
This instrument features a slender, offset shaft terminating in a single, fine pointed hook tip, allowing precise engagement of tissue or nerves in confined operative spaces. The bayonet-style offset keeps the handle out of the surgical line of sight, improving visualization and control.
The opposite end forms a flat, paddle-style handle, providing a secure grip and excellent tactile feedback for delicate work. Its lightweight, rigid construction enables high precision while minimizing tissue trauma. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is suitable for repeated sterilization and consistent clinical use.
