Toennis Dura Hook

Description

Toennis Dura Hook

The Toennis dura hook is a fine, sharp hook for lifting the dura. Neurosurgeons catch the dura with the tip and raise it, so they can open it without touching the brain beneath.

Why a sharp tip

The dura is tough, and a sharp tip grips it with little force. Therefore, the surgeon can tent it up precisely before the first cut. That lift creates a safe space for the knife or scissors.

Size

We list one version, 15 cm with a sharp tip. That length also suits most cranial openings. If you need a blunt or longer hook, we carry other patterns, so ask us.

Where it fits

Dura hooks usually sit beside dura dissectors and scissors in a craniotomy set. The hook handles the lift, while the scissors make the cut. Many surgeons keep two hooks on the tray.

Choosing a dura hook

If you prefer a sharp point, this hook is a good choice. On the other hand, if you want a gentler grip, consider a blunt hook. We can help you compare patterns.

Caring for your Toennis dura hook

Rinse the tip immediately after use. Then clean it with a soft brush, stroking away from the point so it stays sharp. Dry it and store it with a tip guard before sterilization.
