Joseph Skin Hook dbl 2x160mm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise handling of skin and superficial soft tissue, this double Joseph skin hook provides controlled retraction and elevation of wound edges, flaps, and lesion margins. Commonly used in dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, and minor surgical procedures, the instrument facilitates suture placement, excision, debridement, and wound inspection while minimizing crush injury to the tissue when used with proper technique.

Design & Configuration

The double-hook configuration offers bilateral engagement of the epidermis or dermis to stabilize and elevate tissue uniformly without requiring multiple instruments. A slender shaft and fine hook tips allow the surgeon to lift and expose tissue planes in confined fields, improving visibility and access. The 160 mm length provides extended reach for deeper wounds or when working through small incisions while retaining tactile control for delicate maneuvers.
