Volkmann Bone Hook Retractor sharp 1.prong 21.5cm

Clinical Application

This single-prong Volkmann bone hook provides a focused, secure point of purchase on cortical bone or dense periosteum to facilitate elevation, controlled traction and retraction during orthopedic, trauma, hand and other procedures involving small bones. It is commonly used for reduction maneuvers, exposure of fracture sites, lifting periosteum for plating, and for temporarily holding bone segments while instruments or implants are applied.

Design & Configuration

The sharp single-prong tip is designed to penetrate or firmly engage bone or periosteal tissue to minimize slippage under controlled traction. The 21.5 cm shaft length offers reach into deeper wounds or across surgical fields while preserving tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to manipulate bony structures without excessive soft-tissue retraction. A slender shaft profile aids access in confined or layered surgical sites and supports precise positioning and control during reduction or retraction tasks.
