Skin Hook 15cm

Clinical Application

This instrument provides precise point traction on skin and superficial soft tissue to assist with tissue exposure, edge eversion, and controlled retraction during dermatologic procedures, minor surgical cases, reconstructive suturing, and wound debridement. It is intended for atraumatic grip and to maintain operative exposure while minimizing crush injury compared with toothed forceps when only focal traction is required.

Design & Configuration

The fine single-point hook engages the epidermis or superficial dermis to deliver focused traction without broad tissue compression. A slender shaft and narrow profile preserve the visual field and allow access in confined operating sites, while the 15 cm overall length balances reach with tactile control. The simple handheld configuration enables rapid placement and adjustment during delicate maneuvers such as wound edge eversion for suturing or flap positioning.
