Ramathibodi Tubal Hook

Description

Ramathibodi Tubal Hook

The Ramathibodi tubal hook lifts the fallopian tube through a small incision during minilaparotomy tubal ligation. Its design came from Ramathibodi Hospital in Bangkok.

Minilaparotomy sterilization

Minilaparotomy uses a short incision just above the pubic bone. So the surgeon needs a way to reach each tube without a larger opening. This hook provides that reach.

Paired with a manipulator

Teams often use this hook together with the Ramathibodi uterine manipulator. First, the manipulator brings the uterus toward the incision. Then the hook picks up the tube for ligation.

25 cm length

At 25 cm, the Ramathibodi tubal hook reaches from the incision to the tube with room to spare. Also, the long body keeps the hand out of the view. Therefore, the surgeon can see the tube as it rises.

Where it helps

Minilaparotomy needs little specialist equipment. In addition, it suits settings without laparoscopy. So a Ramathibodi tubal hook fits well in family planning clinics.

Reprocessing Ramathibodi tubal hook

Rinse the hook right after surgery so tissue does not dry on it. Next, clean it by hand with a soft brush and check the tip for damage. Finally, dry it and keep it with the manipulator so the pair stays together.
