Chamberlain-Fries skin hook 6 1/2" 1 sharp prong 9.0mm diameter round handle

Controlled Skin Retraction with Practical Reach and Grip

The Chamberlain-Fries skin hook is a general surgery hook designed to engage and retract skin during hands-on tissue handling. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of contact, while the 9.0 mm round handle supports familiar manual control. At 6 1/2 inches long, the instrument offers useful reach for positioning the hand away from the immediate working area while maintaining direct handling. This combination of focused engagement, practical length, and round-handle design makes it a straightforward choice for surgical workflows requiring controlled skin retraction and access.

Use Cases

• Engaging the skin with a single sharp prong during general surgical retraction tasks.
• Maintaining controlled manual retraction while positioning the hand at a practical distance from the operative area.
• Supporting focused tissue handling where a single-point hook is appropriate.
• Using the round handle for direct manipulation during surgical exposure and access workflows.
