Katena K3-6810 Jameson Muscle Hook Large Ophthalmology 5-1/8"

Katena K3-6810 Jameson Muscle Hook (Large)

The Katena K3-6810 is a foundational ophthalmic instrument designed for the precise isolation and manipulation of extraocular muscles. This "Large" version of the Jameson hook features a specialized bulbous tip, which is engineered to be atraumatic. This design allows the surgeon to pass the hook underneath the muscle with confidence, providing secure elevation for recession, resection, or transposition procedures without the risk of "shredding" delicate muscle fibers.

Constructed from premium surgical-grade stainless steel with a satin finish, the K3-6810 eliminates distracting glare under the intense light of a surgical microscope. The solid flat handle provides superior rotational control, allowing for subtle adjustments in tension that are critical for achieving perfect ocular alignment in strabismus surgery.
