Kleinert-Kutz skin hook 6 1 sharp prong 3.0mm diameter round handle

Controlled Tissue Engagement with Focused Access

The Kleinert-Kutz skin hook is a 6-inch general surgery hook designed for controlled tissue engagement and gentle retraction during open procedures. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of contact, while the 3.0 mm round handle supports a familiar, balanced grip for instrument manipulation. The 6-inch length can help place the working tip within the operative field while keeping the hand positioned away from the immediate site. As a practical skin hook for tissue handling, it supports precise retraction and visualization tasks where a narrow, single-point tip is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Engage and retract skin edges during general surgical exposure.
• Apply focused traction when a single sharp prong is appropriate for the task.
• Support tissue positioning while maintaining working access to the operative field.
• Use the 6-inch length to assist with reach during open surgical handling.
• Incorporate into instrument sets for general surgery procedures requiring a skin hook.
