V. Mueller RH1145-001 Single Prong Micro Hook Small ENT

V. Mueller Single Prong Micro Hook | 1mm Sharp Tip | 5.5" Length | RH1145-001

The V. Mueller RH1145-001 is a high-precision micro-instrument engineered for the exacting requirements of Otology, Rhinology, and Neuro-micro surgery. Specifically designed for the manipulation of delicate structures within the middle ear and nasal cavity, this single-prong hook allows for the atraumatic retraction of fine membranes, nerves, and micro-vessels.

The instrument features a 1.0 mm sharp tip, precision-honed to provide secure engagement with fibrous tissue without causing collateral trauma. At an overall length of 5.5 inches (14.3 cm), the RH1145-001 is perfectly balanced for use under the operating microscope, offering the surgeon the high-fidelity tactile feedback necessary for "millimeter-scale" dissections.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Ultra-Fine Tip Precision: The 1.0 mm sharp hook is engineered for high-magnification work. Its geometry is optimized for "teasing" apart tissue planes or elevating the tympanic membrane during stapedectomy or tympanoplasty.

• Balanced Ergonomics: The lightweight, slender shaft is designed to minimize hand fatigue. The knurled handle ensures a non-slip grip, providing the steady control required for delicate neurovascular decompression or ossicular chain reconstruction.

• High-Contrast Satin Finish: The stainless steel is treated with a specialized finish to reduce glare from the intense coaxial lighting of the surgical microscope, preserving the surgeon's depth perception and reducing eye strain.

• Rigid Structural Integrity: Despite its delicate tip, the RH1145-001 is forged from high-tensile stainless steel to ensure the shaft remains perfectly straight and does not flex under the tension of micro-retraction.

• V. Mueller Quality Standards: As an industry leader in ENT instrumentation, V. Mueller ensures that every hook tip is micro-inspected for symmetry and sharpness.

Applications

• Otology: Manipulation of the ossicles, elevation of the tympanomeatal flap, and cholesteatoma removal.

• Rhinology: Delicate retraction of nasal mucosa or manipulation of the ethmoid bulla during FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery).

• Neuro-Micro Surgery: Retraction of fine cranial nerves or dissection of arachnoid membranes.

• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Fine-tissue handling in microvascular anastomoses.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — In Excellent Condition.

• Integrity: The 1.0 mm micro-tip is perfectly sharp and free of hooks or burrs. The shaft is straight with no signs of mechanical stress or bending. The stainless steel surfaces are free of pitting, rust, or deep scratches.

• Maintenance Requirement: As a reusable micro-instrument, this hook must undergo a validated decontamination and sterilization cycle (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with hospital protocols and V. Mueller’s Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical use in 2026.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical hardware, Primis Medical ensures all micro-ENT instruments are inspected for mechanical safety and tip integrity.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in specialized, tip-protected packaging to ensure the 1.0 mm sharp point and shaft alignment remain pristine during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
