Nerve and vessel hooks are hand-held surgical instruments used for hooking around nerves or blood vessels in order to separate them from surrounding tissue during surgical intervention. These devices are intended for retracting and palpating anatomic structures during minimally invasive spinal surgery, excluding soft tissue structures of the central nervous system such as the spinal cord and meninges.
