Bionex Single Skin Hook, Stainless Steel
An autoclavable stainless steel single skin hook used in surgery to lift and manipulate skin edges with minimal tissue trauma during closure or dissection.
The Bionex Single Skin Hook is a fine, sharp pointed stainless steel instrument used in surgery to lift and gently manipulate the edge of the skin, typically during wound closure, dissection or plastic surgery procedures where precise, minimal contact handling of the skin edge is important. Because the hook engages only a small area of tissue with a single sharp point, it reduces the crushing or bruising that a broader grasping instrument such as forceps might cause, which matters for cosmetic and reconstructive outcomes.
Surgeons use single skin hooks to gently evert or position the skin edge while a suture is placed, or to hold tissue steady during a small excision, giving fine control without the bulk of a larger retractor. Made from stainless steel, it is autoclavable and built for the repeated sterilisation cycles expected of reusable surgical instruments in a hospital operating theatre.
Plastic surgeons, dermatologic surgeons and general surgeons performing skin closures rely on skin hooks like this as a standard part of their minor procedure and suturing instrument set. As with other reusable stainless steel instruments, it should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised between patients.
