Micro skin hook 5 5/8" small 1 sharp prong 1.0mm diameter hexagonal handle

Focused Control for Micro-Scale Skin Retraction

The Micro skin hook is a small, single sharp-prong instrument intended for controlled engagement and retraction of skin during general surgical handling. Its 5 5/8-inch length provides practical reach from the user’s hand to the working tip, while the 1.0 mm prong diameter supports focused contact at the point of engagement. A hexagonal handle offers defined hand positioning and can help limit unwanted rolling on the field. The micro-size format is suited to tasks where a compact hook and precise placement are preferred over a larger retractor. Together, these features support organized access, clear visualization, and deliberate manipulation within a surgical workflow.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently retracting skin edges during general surgical procedures.
• Positioning a small area of skin for improved access and visualization.
• Using the sharp single prong for focused contact where a micro-sized hook is appropriate.
• Maintaining controlled hand placement with the hexagonal handle during tissue handling.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument according to facility protocols and applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp prong before and after use for bending, damage, or other changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the tip carefully to avoid accidental contact with the sharp prong or damage during transport.
• Store the hook so the working tip is protected from impact and contact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
