Tebbetts-style self-retaining skin hook 6" 2 sharp prongs 11.0mm spread round handle

Controlled Retraction for General Surgical Access

The Tebbetts-style self-retaining skin hook is designed to hold skin edges during general surgical procedures, helping maintain retraction while leaving the user’s hand available for other operative tasks. Its two sharp prongs provide a defined point of engagement, while the 11.0mm spread supports focused positioning at the incision edge. The 6-inch length offers useful reach for routine surgical handling, and the round handle supports familiar instrument manipulation. As a self-retaining hook, it is suited to workflows where consistent placement and clear access are important during skin retraction and exposure.

Use Cases

• Retracting skin edges during general surgical procedures.
• Maintaining positioned skin retraction while the operator performs other instrument tasks.
• Using the two sharp prongs for focused engagement at the incision margin.
• Supporting access and visualization where a 11.0mm prong spread is appropriate.
• Handling and positioning the hook through its round handle during operative use.
