Kilner Skin Hook 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled elevation and atraumatic traction of skin and superficial soft tissue, this instrument is used to expose wound edges, hold skin during precise suturing, perform small excisions, and assist in debridement. It is commonly used in dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ENT, and outpatient minor-procedure settings where fine, focal retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a slim, rigid shaft terminating in a single-point hooked tip that secures a small area of skin for precise manipulation. The 15 cm length increases working distance and visibility in narrow fields while retaining tactile control for delicate maneuvers. The low-profile shaft minimizes obstruction of the operative view and allows the surgeon or assistant to maintain consistent tension without bulk near the incision.
