Volkman bone hook 8 1/2 1 blunt prong 20.0mm wide, finger ring handle

Controlled Reach for General Surgical Retraction

The Volkman bone hook is a general-surgery retraction instrument designed to engage and draw tissue or structures during exposure. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach into the operative field, while the single blunt prong offers a defined contact point for controlled handling. The 20.0 mm width supports a stable working profile, and the finger ring handle gives the user a familiar point of contact for positioning and manipulation. Together, these features support practical instrument handling when access, directional control, and clear visualization are important during surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Retract tissue or structures to help maintain access and visualization within the operative field.
• Use the single blunt prong for focused engagement during general-surgery procedures.
• Apply controlled directional handling when a longer instrument profile is useful for reaching the working area.
• Use the finger ring handle to support secure positioning and manipulation during retraction tasks.
