Pratt Cystic Hook Fig.2, 22cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to provide controlled retraction and elevation of biliary structures during gallbladder and hepatobiliary procedures. It is commonly used to hook and elevate the cystic duct or gallbladder fundus to expose Calot's triangle and facilitate identification and secure ligation or clipping of the cystic duct and artery. The hook geometry supports blunt traction and limited dissection in open general surgery and other hepatobiliary applications where precise tissue control is required.

Design & Configuration

The angled hook tip and slender shaft allow the surgeon to engage and lift delicate structures with minimal bulk in the operative field. The single-ended configuration provides direct, one‑handed control for steady traction while the 22 cm overall length delivers reach into deeper operative sites without excessive handle protrusion. The hook profile is optimized to retain tissue during traction while minimizing crush and shear forces.
