Joseph Skin Hook dbl 10x160mm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic purchase and controlled traction of superficial tissues, this double-hook Joseph skin hook is used to elevate and retract skin edges during procedures such as excisions, suturing, lesion removal, skin graft harvesting, and minor reconstructive work. The fine hook tips permit secure grip on the dermis or subcutaneous tissue with minimal crushing, improving visualization of the operative field while allowing precise manipulation in confined areas.

Design & Configuration

The double-hook configuration provides two closely spaced contact points for improved stability and directional control of skin edges compared with a single hook. A slim shaft minimizes obstruction in small fields and facilitates delicate fingertip control. The 160 mm length gives reach for operating in deeper wounds or when working across a sterile field without excessive hand intrusion. The Joseph pattern is a standard, widely used geometry that balances tip sharpness with a controlled purchase to limit tissue trauma.
