Murphy nerve hook 9" angled 45º 2.0mm ball tip flat handle

Controlled Access for Nerve Handling

The Murphy nerve hook is a 9-inch surgical hook designed for controlled nerve handling and gentle tissue engagement during operative work. Its 45º angled profile helps extend the working end into areas where a straight approach may be less convenient, while the 2.0mm ball tip supports careful contact with delicate structures. The flat handle provides a familiar surface for controlled instrument positioning and adjustment. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows, this hook combines useful reach, a defined working angle, and a rounded tip format for practical handling during exposure, identification, and manipulation tasks.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled nerve identification, mobilization, or retraction during general surgical procedures.
• Support neurosurgical workflows requiring an angled hook for access around delicate anatomical structures.
• Use the 45º profile to approach structures from a practical offset when a straight instrument path is less suitable.
• Apply the 2.0mm ball tip for careful engagement during nerve and tissue-handling tasks.
• Use the 9-inch length when additional reach is useful within the operative field.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled shaft, ball tip, and flat handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the ball tip carefully during transport, cleaning, and storage to help preserve its rounded working surface.
• Store in a manner that protects the hook from contact damage and keeps it ready for the next procedure.
