Lalonde skin hook forceps 4 3/4" angled standard hooks serrated TC platforms flat handle

Precision Tissue Retraction with Durable Tungsten Carbide Inserts

Achieve stable tissue exposure during delicate procedures with the Lalonde skin hook forceps, engineered for consistent handling in both General Surgery and Ophthalmic applications. The 4 3/4-inch length provides practical reach while the angled standard hooks facilitate precise retraction of skin and subcutaneous layers without excessive trauma. Serrated jaws supports a familiar grip on tissue, minimizing slippage during critical maneuvers. The flat handle design promotes comfortable control and reduces hand fatigue, allowing surgeons to maintain steady traction throughout complex dissections or wound closures.

Use Cases

• Retracting skin edges and subcutaneous tissue to improve visualization during general surgical incisions and closures.
• Providing gentle yet firm tissue manipulation in ophthalmic procedures requiring precise access to periocular structures.
• Securing tissue planes during dissection to prevent slippage and maintain a clear operative field.
• Assisting in wound exploration where stable, angled retraction is necessary for deep tissue assessment.

Care & Handling

• Clean thoroughly after each use to remove biological debris, paying close attention to the serrated jaw surfaces and tungsten carbide inserts.
• Inspect the tips and hinges regularly for alignment, wear, or damage to supports consistent performance and tissue safety.
• Store in a dry, protected environment to prevent instrument damage and maintain the integrity of the flat handle finish.

General use; follow facility protocols.
