Millard thimble hook 1 sharp prong 5.2mm diameter

Controlled General-Surgery Handling with a Sharp Single-Prong Profile

The Millard thimble hook is a general-surgery hook designed for controlled engagement and manipulation during operative handling. Its single sharp prong provides a focused contact point, while the thimble-hook format supports deliberate instrument control in the hand. With a 5.2mm functional diameter, it offers a defined size for workflows that require a compact, targeted hook profile rather than a broader configuration. The design helps clinicians organize tissue-handling and retraction tasks with a straightforward instrument format that is easy to identify, position, and use within established facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently drawing tissue or surgical material during general-surgery procedures.
• Supporting focused retraction where a single sharp prong is appropriate for a defined contact point.
• Using a thimble-style hook for deliberate hand positioning and controlled manipulation.
• Integrating a compact 5.2mm hook profile into routine general-surgery instrument setups.

Care & Handling

• Handle the prong carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or damage.
• Store the hook in a manner that protects its sharp prong and keeps it separated from instruments that could cause damage.
