6 1/4 Joseph Skin Hook single prong 4mm

Focused Tissue Engagement for Controlled Retraction

The 6 1/4" Joseph Skin Hook with a single 4mm prong is a focused retraction instrument intended for engaging and holding tissue at the operative site. Its overall length supports close, controlled handling when access and visualization matter, while the single-prong configuration offers a defined point of engagement rather than a broad multi-prong profile. In General Surgery, it can support localized exposure during tissue handling; in Neurosurgery, its 4mm working point suits careful, task-specific retraction within a controlled field. The familiar Joseph pattern gives the instrument a straightforward role in workflows where precise positioning and measured manual control are important.

Use Cases

• Support localized tissue retraction during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with controlled exposure when a single point of engagement is preferred.
• Support careful, task-specific tissue handling in Neurosurgery.
• Provide a defined retraction point for operative-site visualization and access.
• Use in workflows requiring close manual positioning of a surgical hook.

• Inspect the single prong before and after use for bending, damage, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the prong carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help preserve its defined working point.
