Gillies skin hook 7 small 1 sharp prong 2.5mm diameter flat handle

Focused Retraction with a Slim, Reach-Friendly Profile

The Gillies skin hook is a 7-inch general-surgery hook designed for controlled engagement and retraction of skin and superficial tissue during operative exposure. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of contact, while the 2.5 mm diameter supports precise placement in tasks where a smaller working point is useful. The flat handle offers a straightforward manual grip and the 7-inch length provides practical reach around the operative field. This configuration gives surgical teams a simple, task-oriented instrument for positioning tissue and maintaining access without adding unnecessary complexity to the hand-held setup.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently retracting skin during general-surgery procedures.
• Positioning superficial tissue to improve access to the operative field.
• Using the single sharp prong for focused tissue engagement where a small contact point is preferred.
• Applying the 7-inch reach when the working area is not immediately adjacent to the hand.
