Hooklet

Description

Hooklet

The sharp hooklet is a small, 15 cm bone hook. It holds, pulls and positions bone fragments and tissue during fixation.

A small sharp hook

The sharp tip catches bone or tissue securely. Therefore the surgeon can pull a fragment into line. It also retracts small tissue edges.

Size of the sharp hooklet

At 15 cm, the hooklet suits small and medium exposures. Meanwhile, it stays light and easy to control. Furthermore, it fits on most trays.

Who uses a sharp hooklet

Fracture surgeons pull fragments into line with it. Similarly, plastic surgeons lift skin edges and small flaps. Small-bone cases benefit too.

Careful use

Sharp tips can tear soft tissue. Consequently, place the tip on bone where possible. Pull gently and watch the fragment.

Many small jobs

A hooklet handles countless small tasks during a case. Therefore it often stays within reach. Many surgeons keep two.

Small hooks, careful handling

Because the tip is sharp, store the hooklet with a tip guard. Moreover, pass it handle-first during surgery. These habits prevent glove punctures.
