Austin foot plate hook 6 1/4" straight shaft angled 90º 0.33mm long tip round handle

Controlled Access with a Long, Angled Hook Profile

The Austin foot plate hook is a surgical hook intended for controlled engagement, lifting, or gentle retraction during procedures where focused access and visualization are important. Its 6 1/4-inch straight shaft provides extended reach, while the 90º angled configuration places the long 0.33mm tip at a defined working angle. The round handle supports familiar manual handling and positioning. Suitable for approved ENT and General Surgery applications, this hook offers a practical option for tasks requiring precise contact in a narrow or deeper operative field without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Engaging or lifting tissue and anatomical structures during ENT procedures where a focused hook profile is useful.
• Supporting controlled retraction and exposure tasks in General Surgery.
• Using the 90º angled tip to approach a target from a defined working direction.
• Applying the extended 6 1/4-inch reach when the operative site is less accessible to shorter instruments.
• Using the round handle for straightforward manual positioning and adjustment during hook-based tasks.
