Freeman skin hook 4" 2 sharp prongs 5.0mm spread round handle

Controlled Skin Retraction for General Surgical Access

The Freeman skin hook is a 4-inch hand-held retractor designed for engaging and retracting skin or superficial tissue during general surgical procedures. Its two sharp prongs provide a focused point of contact, while the 5.0mm spread supports localized tissue handling where a compact hook is preferred. The round handle offers a familiar grasp for controlled positioning and adjustment during exposure. With its practical reach and narrow, two-prong configuration, this hook can support surgical tasks that require deliberate retraction without introducing a broader retractor into the working area.

Use Cases

• Engaging the skin edge for localized retraction during general surgical procedures.
• Maintaining focused exposure around a small operative site.
• Positioning superficial tissue with the two sharp prongs.
• Using the 4-inch length to access and adjust tissue within the operative field.
• Supporting controlled hand repositioning through the round handle.
