V. Mueller OP2400 Tyrell Hook 2mm Sharp Tip 4"

V. Mueller OP2400 Tyrell Suture Hook | 2mm Sharp Tip | 4.75" Length | Stainless Steel

The V. Mueller OP2400 Tyrell Hook is a high-precision microsurgical instrument designed for the delicate retraction and manipulation of fine tissue, small vessels, or sutures. Originally engineered for ophthalmic procedures (such as iris retraction or muscle manipulation), the Tyrell hook has become a "staple" in plastic and reconstructive surgery where "point-of-contact" precision is required in confined anatomical spaces.

Forged from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the OP2400 features a 2mm sharp hook, providing the surgeon with a secure "bite" on slippery or delicate tissues without the bulk of traditional forceps or wider retractors.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Ultra-Fine 2mm Hook: The miniature hook radius allows for atraumatic engagement of delicate structures. In ophthalmic surgery, it provides the necessary leverage to manipulate the iris or retrieve fine sutures without obstructing the surgeon's view under the microscope.

• Sharp Tip Precision: The sharp-pointed tip ensures immediate tissue fixation with minimal pressure, reducing "slippage" during retraction. This is particularly advantageous when working with the dense, slippery layers of the dermis or when isolating fine nerve branches.

• Ergonomic 4.75" Balance: The instrument is balanced to rest comfortably in a "pencil-grip" position. This allows for micro-adjustments of the hand during long, detailed procedures, significantly reducing surgeon hand fatigue.

• Low-Profile Design: The slim shaft and compact length make it an ideal tool for use in deep, narrow surgical corridors or through small incisions where larger retractors would be impractical.

• V. Mueller Metallurgy: Known for their high-tolerance manufacturing, V. Mueller instruments are tempered to maintain the sharpness of the hook and the rigidity of the shaft through hundreds of sterilization cycles.
