Austin foot plate hook 6 1/4 straight shaft angled 90° 0.50mm long tip round handle

Focused Reach and Controlled Tissue Handling

The Austin foot plate hook is a surgical hook designed for controlled tissue handling and retraction when a fine, accessible point of engagement is useful. Its 6 1/4" length supports reach within the operative field, while the straight shaft and 90º angle provide a purposeful approach to the target. The long 0.50mm tip offers a focused hook profile for positioning tasks, and the round handle provides a familiar grasp during instrument manipulation. For ENT and General Surgery workflows, this configuration can support practical access, exposure, and tissue management where a slender, angled hook is appropriate.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue retraction and positioning during ENT procedures where a fine hook profile is appropriate.
• Assist with tissue handling and exposure in General Surgery workflows requiring a focused point of engagement.
• Use the straight shaft to approach the operative field along a direct instrument path.
• Apply the 90º angle when an angled approach is useful for access or visualization.
• Manipulate the hook through its round handle during positioning and controlled retraction tasks.
