Freeman Retractor with 2 Hooks

Description

Freeman Retractor with 2 Hooks

The Freeman two-hook retractor lifts skin edges with two small hooks instead of a flat blade. Because the hooks touch only two points, they hold the edge without crushing it.

Two hooks, two points

Each hook catches the skin at a single spot. Consequently, the edge stays healthy for closure. Meanwhile, the pair of hooks keeps the flap from rolling.

Length of the Freeman two-hook retractor

It measures 10 cm overall. That size sits lightly in the fingers. In addition, it keeps the hand close to the field for fine control.

Where surgeons use it

Facelift, eyelid and hand surgery all call for it. For example, it raises the edge so the surgeon can trim it. It also helps during scar revision.

Hooks versus a blade

A blade spreads pull across a wide strip. By contrast, two hooks focus it on small points. So hooks suit thin skin that must heal well.

Using it safely

Set the hooks just under the dermis and lift gently. Next, keep the angle steady while the surgeon works. Finally, lift the hooks out straight to avoid tearing the edge.

Protecting the hooks

Clean the hooks with a soft brush, not a wire one. Rinse and dry. Then store the retractor so the points do not touch other tools.
