A skin hook is a small surgical instrument used to gently grasp and retract the edge of the skin during suturing or dissection, minimizing tissue trauma compared to forceps. The single-prong sharp hook is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to evert the skin edge, giving the surgeon a clear, atraumatic grip while suturing or closing a wound. It features a round, knurled handle that tapers to the hook end for secure handling. Common in general, plastic, dermatologic, and veterinary surgery.
Material: Stainless steel. Length: 6-1/4". Tip: Single prong.
