Volkman bone hook 9 3/4 1 sharp prong 20.0mm wide, finger ring handle

Controlled Reach for General Surgical Tissue Retraction

The Volkman bone hook is a general surgery retraction instrument designed to engage and lift tissue or other structures during procedures requiring controlled exposure. Its 9 3/4-inch length provides useful reach across the operative field, while the single sharp prong supports focused contact rather than broad, multi-point engagement. The 20.0 mm width identifies the working dimension of the hook and helps teams select an appropriately sized instrument for the task. With its straightforward hook configuration, this instrument supports practical handling and access during surgical workflows where dependable retraction and clear visualization are required.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently lifting tissue during general surgical exposure.
• Providing focused retraction with a single sharp prong when a defined point of contact is useful.
• Using the 9 3/4-inch length to reach operative areas without selecting a shorter hook.
• Supporting visualization during procedures that require temporary retraction of tissue or structures.
