ABSTRACT:
A scopic probe adapted to dissect various tissue includes a shaft and a wire tip. The wire tip includes an arcuate portion that is at a 90.degree. angle relative to the shaft. The arcuate or loop portion then extends to a linear tip that is parallel to the shaft. The tip is used to separate tissue which in turn is hooked by the loop allowing the surgeon to visualize depth and divide the hooked tissue. This permits a surgeon to perform tasks generally requiring several instruments with only one instrument.
