Key Uses

This surgical instrument supports basic surgical techniques by helping surgeons broaden edges of wounds, raise skin flaps, and expand the view across the operating site. Its small hook features a deep curve ending in a sharp-pointed tip, with a fine diameter allowing atraumatic tissue penetration. Precisely applied traction forces at specific points make surgery more manageable, while the long square-shaped handle delivers an impeccable grip.
