11-3/4″ (30.0 cm) Scoville Nerve Hook & Dissector is a multi purpose instrument that is double headed with one end that is a nerve hook while the other end is a dissector. The hook end features a rounded profile that makes it well suited for retraction of nerves and keeping them out of the field of surgery. The opposing end is a dissector that is flat and blunt allowing it to explore and navigate in delicate nervous tissue without causing damage. Additionally this instrument is available with either a curved hook or a right angle hook making it suitable for different surgical maneuvers that require different instruments as well as to satisfy surgeon preference.
