Cushing Dural Hook 5.5"

Controlled Dural Retraction for Surgical Access

The Cushing Dural Hook 5.5" is a surgical hook designed for controlled engagement and retraction of dural tissue during operative exposure. Its focused hook profile supports deliberate handling where visualization and access are important, helping the surgical team maintain a clear, organized field while working through technique-specific steps. The 5.5-inch length provides practical reach for use in General Surgery and Neurosurgery settings, subject to the procedure and facility protocol. As part of the hook instrument family, it offers a purpose-specific option for careful tissue manipulation without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently retracting dura during procedures requiring improved operative exposure.
• Supporting controlled tissue handling when access or visualization must be maintained through a focused instrument tip.
• Using within Neurosurgery workflows for dural manipulation appropriate to the operative technique.
• Using within General Surgery workflows where a dural hook is selected for the planned surgical task.
• Incorporating into organized instrument setups for procedures that require a dedicated hook for tissue retraction.
