Kleinert-Kutz Retractor

The Kleinert-Kutz retractor is a skin hook for hand surgery. It carries a 15 cm label on our site, and it measures closer to 16 cm in the hand.

A skin hook

A hook lifts skin edges gently and precisely at a single point. So the surgeon sees deeper layers without broad pressure on the wound. That suits exposure of tendons and small nerves.

Built for the hand

Hand surgery works in small, crowded spaces. Therefore a slim hook fits between fingers and along the palm. It also keeps other tools free.

Light and precise

At about 16 cm, it stays easy to control with the fingertips. Also, small wrist movements guide the hook exactly where you want it. Then flaps stay open while the repair goes on.

Where it fits

Tendon repairs, nerve work and carpal procedures suit a fine hook like this. In addition, plastic surgeons use it for small flaps. Keep a Kleinert-Kutz retractor on every hand tray.

Reprocessing Kleinert-Kutz retractor

Guard the hook tip during cleaning so it keeps its fine point. Next, brush the hook and shaft, then rinse the instrument well. Last, let it air-dry and park the hook in a guarded slot of the hand set.
