Landolt hook 10 3/4" bayonet shaft right angled blunt hook round handle

Controlled Reach for Retraction and Exposure

The Landolt hook is a surgical hook designed to assist with controlled retraction and exposure during procedural handling. Its 10 3/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the bayonet shaft can help keep the hand and handle offset from the working area for a clearer line of sight. The right-angled, blunt hook supports measured engagement where a defined tip profile is preferred, and the round handle is suited to steady manual control. Its specialty-neutral design may support instrument workflows across ENT, general surgery, and neurosurgery when appropriate to the task and facility technique.

Use Cases

• Assist with gentle retraction and exposure during ENT procedures where a long, offset instrument is useful.
• Support tissue positioning and access in general surgery workflows requiring a blunt hook profile.
• Help maintain working-space exposure during neurosurgical procedures when the instrument is appropriate to the operative task.
• Use the bayonet configuration to help position the hand away from the direct line of sight.
• Apply the round handle for controlled manual positioning during hook-assisted retraction.

Specifications

Care & Handling
