Johnson skin hook 6 1/2" 1 sharp prong 5.0mm wide flat handle

Controlled Skin Retraction for General Surgical Handling

The Johnson skin hook is a manual surgical hook intended for lifting and gently retracting skin during general surgery. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of engagement, while the 5.0 mm wide flat handle supports deliberate hand positioning during short, controlled maneuvers. At 6 1/2 inches in length, the instrument offers useful reach between the operator’s hand and the working field without adding unnecessary complexity to the task. The straightforward hook design can support exposure, edge handling, and tissue positioning where a single-point instrument is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Lift or retract a skin edge during general surgical procedures.
• Engage a specific point of the skin with the single sharp prong for controlled positioning.
• Support exposure of the operative field during localized tissue handling.
• Use the flat handle for deliberate manual manipulation during short retraction tasks.
