Skin Hook 15cm

Clinical Application

Provides precise, focal retraction of skin and superficial soft tissue during dermatologic, plastic, and minor surgical procedures. Common uses include holding skin edges during excisions and biopsies, providing temporary traction while placing sutures, and exposing small fields for fine dissection or closure. Due to the focused point of contact, the instrument is intended for controlled traction on epidermis and thin dermal layers rather than for heavy or sustained traction on large tissue volumes.

Design & Configuration

The slender 15 cm shaft offers a balance of reach and tactile control in confined fields, allowing the operator to retract tissue without obstructing the view. The fine hook tip concentrates traction to a small contact point for accurate exposure of wound edges and lesion margins. The simple hand-held geometry enables single-handed manipulation and rapid repositioning during suturing and delicate procedures.
