Maumenee iris hook 4 3/4" straight shaft, fully curved 1.0mm blunt hook flat handle

Controlled Access for General Surgical and Ophthalmic Handling

The Maumenee iris hook is a surgical hook designed for controlled tissue handling in general surgery and ophthalmic workflows. Its 4 3/4-inch straight shaft provides practical reach, while the fully curved 1.0 mm blunt hook supports careful engagement during delicate manipulation. A flat handle offers a familiar gripping surface for positioning and directional control, helping the instrument integrate into focused procedural work where access and visibility matter. The blunt tip is suited to handling tasks that call for a defined hook profile without introducing a sharp point. Its compact functional size supports precise instrument placement in demanding operative fields.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled iris handling in ophthalmic procedures where a small, fully curved hook profile is appropriate.
• Support tissue positioning and retraction tasks in general surgical workflows requiring a slender, extended reach.
• Engage and move tissue with the 1.0 mm blunt hook during focused manipulation.
• Use the straight shaft and flat handle to guide the hook into position while maintaining a consistent hand orientation.
• Incorporate into surgical setups requiring a dedicated hook for localized handling and access.

Specifications
