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

Controlled Reach and Secure Handling for General Surgery

The Volkman bone hook is a hand-held surgical hook designed to provide controlled traction and positioning during general surgery. Its 8 1/2-inch length offers useful reach when the operative field requires access beyond the immediate hand position, while the single sharp prong provides a focused point of engagement. The 20.0mm width defines the working profile, and the finger ring handle supports a deliberate grip during instrument manipulation. Together, these features provide a straightforward option for tasks involving bone or firm tissue retraction where focused contact and steady handling are important.

Use Cases

• Apply focused traction to bone or firm tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Use the single sharp prong when a defined point of engagement is preferred.
• Employ the 8 1/2-inch length to support access within a deeper or less direct operative field.
• Use the finger ring handle for controlled positioning and manipulation during retraction tasks.
• Support general surgery workflows requiring a hook from the surgical hooks instrument family.
