Murphy nerve hook 9" angled 60º 2.0mm ball tip flat handle

Controlled Access for Nerve-Sparing Instrument Handling

The Murphy nerve hook is a 9-inch angled instrument designed for controlled nerve and tissue handling during general surgery and neurosurgery. Its 60-degree profile helps present the ball tip through a practical approach angle, while the 2.0 mm rounded tip supports deliberate contact during localized dissection and retraction tasks. The flat handle provides a straightforward grasping surface for routine instrument manipulation. By combining extended reach with an angled, ball-tipped working end, this hook supports organized handling in areas where access and instrument orientation matter. Its specialty-neutral design fits varied surgical workflows without implying exclusive use.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled nerve identification, elevation, or gentle retraction during general surgical procedures.
• Support neurosurgical dissection workflows requiring an angled hook with a rounded 2.0 mm working tip.
• Use the 9-inch length to help reach operative areas while maintaining a practical distance from the working field.
• Apply the ball tip for deliberate localized tissue handling where a rounded contact point is appropriate.
• Use the flat handle to support consistent manual orientation during hook manipulation.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean and process the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled shaft, ball tip, and flat handle for visible residue, damage, or deformation before and after use.
• Handle the ball tip carefully to preserve its rounded profile and avoid contact with other instruments that could cause damage.
• Store the hook in a manner that protects its angled working end from impact or bending.

General use; follow facility protocols.
