Von Graefe strabismus hook 5 3/8 size #2 medium 9.0mm flat hook flat handle

Controlled Access for Focused Tissue Handling

The Von Graefe strabismus hook is a surgical hook designed for controlled engagement and positioning of tissue or structures during focused operative handling. Its 5 3/8-inch length provides useful reach, while the 9.0 mm functional size supports precise work in confined fields. The flat hook and flat handle profile contribute to a straightforward instrument interface for controlled manipulation and visualization. Suitable for general surgical and ophthalmic workflows, it can support delicate exposure and retraction tasks where a compact, purpose-specific hook is preferred. Its defined size helps teams select an instrument appropriate to the access and handling requirements of the procedure.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue or structure retraction during general surgical exposure when a focused hook is appropriate.
• Assist with strabismus-related ophthalmic handling and exposure using a purpose-specific hook design.
• Engage and reposition tissue in confined operative fields where a 9.0 mm functional size is suitable.
• Provide extended reach for precise handling through the instrument's 5 3/8-inch length.
• Use the flat hook and flat handle configuration for deliberate instrument positioning during focused surgical tasks.
