Kilner skin hook 6 1/4 1 sharp prong 2.0mm wide round handle

Controlled Retraction for General Surgical Handling

The Kilner skin hook is a hand-held surgical hook designed for controlled tissue retraction and positioning during general surgery. Its single sharp prong provides a focused point of engagement, while the 2.0mm width supports precise contact in tasks requiring directed handling. The 6 1/4" length offers useful reach between the operator’s hand and the working site, and the round handle supports a familiar, straightforward grip. This configuration is suited to workflows where focused retraction, clear instrument positioning, and deliberate handling are important during access and visualization.

Use Cases

• Engaging and gently retracting tissue at a focused point during general surgical procedures.
• Supporting localized exposure where a single sharp prong is appropriate for directed handling.
• Maintaining working access while the 6 1/4" length provides separation between the hand and operative area.
• Using the round handle for controlled positioning and adjustment during tissue retraction.
