O' Connor single Hook retractor 16cm

Clinical Application

This single‑hook retractor provides focused, point retraction of soft tissue and mobile organs to create a small but well‑defined operative window. It is commonly used during open abdominal and pelvic procedures, including gynecologic cases, to elevate or hold tissue edges, tent fascia, or secure small tissue margins for improved visualization and instrument access. The single‑hook tip is well suited for controlled traction where broad blade retraction is not appropriate.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft terminating in a single, well‑formed hook delivers predictable directional traction with minimal bulk in the wound. The 16 cm overall length balances reach with tactile control at the operating table, allowing the assistant or primary surgeon to place the hook precisely without excessive shaft protrusion. The single‑point engagement reduces slippage on pliable tissue and permits fine adjustments to retraction angle and tension during dissection and hemostasis.
