Nail Extracting Hook shaft 29cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled engagement and elevation of the nail plate during partial or total nail avulsion, the instrument provides a reliable means to hook, lift and extract intact nail segments or loosen adherent portions prior to debridement. Commonly used in podiatry, hand surgery, and minor-OR procedures for removal of traumatic or diseased nail tissue and for accessing the subungual space for hematoma evacuation or foreign body removal.

Design & Configuration

An elongated shaft terminating in a dedicated hook tip allows the operator to reach and manipulate nail material with mechanical advantage while maintaining clear visualization of the nail bed. The single-ended hook geometry concentrates contact on a narrow point, facilitating controlled elevation of the nail plate without excessive bulk in the working field. The 29 cm shaft provides extended reach and improved leverage for procedures where distance or access angles require a longer instrument.
