Kuentscher Extraction Hook

Description

Kuentscher Extraction Hook

The Kuentscher extraction hook engages the end of an intramedullary nail so it can be pulled out. You can order hook figure 1, hook figure 2 or the 64 cm handle.

Three options

Hook figures 1 and 2 have different hook shapes for different nails. Meanwhile, the 64 cm handle provides reach and grip. Order the parts you need to complete or repair a set.

A nailing pioneer

Gerhard Kuentscher introduced intramedullary nailing. Therefore many removal tools carry the name. Moreover, these hooks follow that design.

Who uses the Kuentscher extraction hook

Trauma surgeons use it to remove older nails. Also, revision teams use it before re-nailing. Sterile processing departments order spare hooks.

Choosing a figure

The right figure depends on the nail end. Consequently, tell us the nail type and we will help choose. Besides, many sets keep both figures.

Using the hook

Insert the hook into the nail end under imaging. Then pull steadily with the handle or slotted hammer. Stop if the hook slips.
