Graefe Skin Hook single sharp 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic elevation and retraction of skin and superficial tissues, this single-point Graefe skin hook is used to lift and expose wound edges, dermal flaps, and small skin segments during procedures such as dermatologic excisions, plastic reconstruction, ophthalmic periocular work, and minor general surgery. The sharp single hook provides precise engagement of thin dermal layers for controlled traction and exposure while minimizing crushing of adjacent tissue compared with broad forceps.

Design & Configuration

The single sharp hook configuration provides a focused point of purchase that permits delicate, precise traction on skin edges or flaps. A slim shaft and a total length of 16 cm extend reach into deeper wounds or confined operative fields without excessive hand intrusion, improving visibility and control. The straightforward hook geometry facilitates quick engagement and release of tissue, and its simplicity makes it easy to handle during suture placement, debridement, and flap manipulation.
