Joseph Skin Hook dbl 7x160mm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled, focal elevation and retraction of skin edges and superficial subcutaneous tissue. Commonly used in dermatologic procedures (including excisions and Mohs surgery), plastic and reconstructive cases, minor general surgical procedures, wound debridement and closure. The double-hook configuration permits secure engagement of skin for visualization of margins or for temporary traction during suture placement.

Design & Configuration

The double-hook geometry offers bilateral engagement of tissue with a single instrument, allowing the operator to apply gentle upward traction without the need for additional clamps or forceps. The slim shaft and fine hook tips concentrate force at the point of contact for precise elevation while minimizing drag on surrounding tissue. The 160 mm shaft length provides reach in shallow cavities and across wider operative fields while the 7 mm hook profile gives a predictable footprint for delicate surface work.
