McGannen Hook

Description

McGannen Hook

The mcgannen hook is a fine 13cm eye hook. It lets you engage tissue with a small hooked end and move it with care. We offer one pattern in one length, so ordering is simple.

A fine hook for careful moves

Eye surgery often calls for small, gentle moves. A fine hook lets you catch tissue at a single point and guide it. Then you can hold it in place while your other hand works. So a hook like this earns a place on many anterior segment trays.

Why 13cm suits many surgeons

A 13cm length gives good reach under the microscope. It also keeps your hand away from the eye, which helps the view. Meanwhile, the handle stays light enough for fine control. If you prefer a shorter tool, a 10cm or 10.5cm hook may suit better. Try both lengths in a wet lab if you can, since feel is personal and small changes in reach matter at this scale.

McGannen cleaning habits

A fine tip deserves gentle care. Rinse the hook soon after use, then scrub it gently with a soft brush or a short ultrasonic bath. Dry it before packing. Also, store it with a tip guard so it does not catch on other tools. After a full cycle, the hook is ready to reuse.

McGannen warranty and help

The McGannen comes with three years against manufacturing defects, so a McGannen with a faulty tip or shaft is ours to fix. Its steel follows ASTM F899. Shop our ophthalmology hooks for more, or look at the Meyer-Schwickerath iris hook, also 13cm. Our FAQs cover orders.
