Neurosurgery Surgical Foot Plate Hook – 5¹⁶″, 0.7 mm Tip, Angled Down

The Neurosurgery Surgical Foot Plate Hook – 5¹⁶″, 0.7 mm Tip, Angled Down is a premium microsurgical instrument engineered for precise tissue manipulation during neurosurgical, spinal, cranial, and microsurgical procedures. Designed for surgeons requiring exceptional precision, this foot plate hook allows controlled retraction and elevation of delicate anatomical structures while minimizing tissue trauma.

The instrument features a 0.7 mm angled-down foot plate tip that provides accurate engagement of nerves, vessels, dura, and soft tissues. The downward angle improves access beneath delicate structures, allowing safe retraction and enhanced visualization within confined operative fields.

With an overall length of 5¹⁶ inches, the hook offers excellent balance, maneuverability, and tactile sensitivity. Its compact profile is ideal for microscope-assisted surgery and enables precise instrument handling in narrow surgical corridors.

The ergonomic handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for maximum control during intricate procedures. Its lightweight, balanced construction helps reduce hand fatigue while ensuring smooth and accurate movements throughout surgery.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Foot Plate Hook provides outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The satin, non-reflective finish minimizes glare from operating lights and surgical microscopes, improving visibility during delicate microsurgical procedures.

Designed for repeated professional use, the Neurosurgery Surgical Foot Plate Hook – 5¹⁶″, 0.7 mm Tip, Angled Down is fully reusable and autoclavable, making it an essential instrument for neurosurgery, spinal surgery, skull base procedures, and advanced microsurgical instrument sets.
