Graefe Nerve Hook

Description

With the help of the Graefe Nerve Hook, 14 cm (5 1/2″), a surgeon can retract nerves to access their underlying tissues.

The Graefe Nerve Hook is a hook-shaped surgical instrument with a flexible long handle and a probe-style working end. The probe has a button-shaped tip that points inward, lowering the risk of trauma. Additionally, the nerve hook’s extended flat handle enables the surgeon to safely manipulate and retract nerves in order to access the desired tissue. The nerve hook has a broad, curved profile that provides the best grasping for this use. During ilioinguinal nerve retraction during hernia surgery, the Graefe Nerve Hook is especially helpful.
