Simon Fistula Hook

Description

Simon Fistula Hook

The Simon fistula hook holds tissue edges during vesicovaginal fistula repair. It measures 22 cm and comes with one prong or two.

One prong or two

A single prong picks up a small, precise point of tissue. By contrast, two prongs spread the hold across a wider margin. So choose by the size of the edges you plan to handle.

Role in fistula repair

Vesicovaginal fistula repair closes an opening between bladder and vagina. The surgeon must lift and separate the tissue layers with care. A hook like this draws each edge into view for suturing.

Reach at 22 cm

The 22 cm length reaches the repair site from a comfortable hand position. Meanwhile, an assistant can hold it steady while the surgeon sutures. Also, a hook takes up little space beside the needle holder.

Pairing with other hooks

Fistula sets often include several hook styles for different edges and angles. Plus, our Emmet pattern offers five figure patterns for other needs. So a Simon fistula hook works well beside them in a dedicated tray.

Looking after Simon fistula hook

Handle the prong tips gently, since a bent point snags tissue. After use, brush the hook under water and rinse off all detergent. Dry it, then store it with a tip guard in place so the prongs stay true.
