Cottle (McIndoe) skin hook 11mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled traction and retraction of skin edges, small soft-tissue flaps and subcutaneous tissues during minor surgical procedures. Commonly used in dermatologic excisions, scar revisions, reconstructive and plastic surgery maneuvers, and ENT procedures where precise, low-profile traction is required. The fine hook permits secure grip on epidermis or dermis with minimal obstruction of the surgical field.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single-point hook geometry delivers focused purchase on a small area of tissue, allowing the operator to apply directed counter-traction without bulky jaws. The 15 cm overall length provides reach for deeper or narrow operative sites while preserving tactile feedback. The low-profile shaft and narrow hook minimize visual interference and facilitate work in confined spaces.
