Gillies skin hook 7" medium 1 sharp prong 2.9mm diameter flat handle

Controlled Skin and Soft-Tissue Handling in General Surgery

The Gillies skin hook is a 7-inch surgical hook designed for controlled engagement and gentle retraction of skin or soft tissue during general surgery. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of contact, while the 2.9 mm functional size supports precise tissue handling in tasks where a targeted hold is useful. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip and extended reach for positioning the instrument within the operative field. With its medium configuration, this hook supports practical access, exposure, and tissue manipulation without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument setup.

Use Cases

• Engaging and lifting a localized edge of skin or soft tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Supporting controlled retraction while the operative area is exposed or adjusted.
• Using the single sharp prong for focused tissue contact where a targeted hold is required.
• Reaching into the operative field with the 7-inch length while maintaining a flat-handle grip.
• Handling tissue during surgical steps that call for a medium-sized skin hook.
