Kleinert-Kutz skin hook 6" 1 sharp prong 7.0mm diameter round handle

Controlled Tissue Retraction for General Surgical Handling

The Kleinert-Kutz skin hook is a 6-inch surgical hook designed for controlled lifting and gentle retraction of tissue during general surgery. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of engagement, while the 7.0 mm round handle supports familiar manual handling throughout hands-on surgical work. The extended 6-inch profile can help maintain working distance and access around the operative field without adding unnecessary complexity to the instrument. As a practical solution for tasks requiring precise tissue engagement and positioning, this skin hook supports clear, deliberate handling within established facility techniques and protocols.

• Use the 6-inch length to maintain working reach around the operative field.
