Barsky skin hook 6" delicate 2 sharp prongs 5.0mm spread round handle

Delicate Two-Prong Retraction with Controlled Reach

The Barsky skin hook is a 6-inch delicate retractor designed for controlled engagement and gentle tissue handling during general surgery. Its two sharp prongs provide focused contact, while the 5.0 mm spread supports localized retraction where a narrow working area is preferred. The round handle offers a familiar grip profile for positioning and adjustment, and the 6-inch length provides useful reach within the operative field. As a compact hook for precision-oriented tasks, it can support exposure and tissue manipulation without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Engage and gently retract a localized edge of skin or soft tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Use the two sharp prongs when focused contact is needed for controlled tissue positioning.
• Apply the 5.0 mm spread in compact operative areas requiring a narrow retraction profile.
• Use the 6-inch length to support access and reach within the surgical field.
• Adjust instrument position using the round handle during exposure and tissue-handling tasks.

• Inspect the sharp prongs and 5.0 mm spread for damage, deformation, or retained soil before reuse.
• Handle the prongs carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect their defined tips.
• Store the hook so its prongs are protected from contact with other instruments.
