RICHARD WOLF Tip Control
Richard WOLF is a world-renowned specialist for spinal surgery instruments. The patented Tip Control can be used via minimally-invasive incisions, and its curved shape allows a far greater working radius when coagulating tissue with HF electricity, e.g. when treating slipped disks. Richard WOLF calls this “lateral thinking around corners”.
The surgeon can access the patient’s spine from above or from the side. Tip Control can be held securely and ergonomically irrespective of hand size and gripping method. The highly visible position of the cable in front of the instrument grip is also the result of design research and ensures controlled, reliable use.
