Maltzman-Fenzl lens manipulating hook 4 5/8 straight shaft 0.15mm V-shaped tip round handle

Controlled Lens Manipulation with a Fine V-Shaped Tip

The Maltzman-Fenzl lens manipulating hook is a fine surgical instrument designed for controlled lens manipulation during procedures requiring precise intraoperative handling. Its straight 4 5/8-inch shaft provides a direct working profile, while the 0.15 mm V-shaped tip supports focused engagement with the lens. A round handle offers a familiar grip for deliberate instrument control and smooth repositioning within the operative field. The slender configuration can help maintain a clear line of approach when access and visualization are important, making this hook a practical choice for detailed ophthalmic instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Manipulating and repositioning the lens with the fine V-shaped tip.
• Approaching the operative field with the straight shaft for direct instrument handling.
• Supporting controlled lens handling where a narrow 0.15 mm tip is appropriate.
• Using the round handle for steady, deliberate positioning during fine surgical work.
