Sklar Barr Crypt Hook, Double End
A 10 inch double ended hook used to retract anal crypts or fistula tracts during colorectal and anorectal surgical procedures. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Barr Crypt Hook is a 10 inch double ended surgical instrument used to hook and retract anal crypts, fistula tracts, or other small anorectal structures during colorectal surgery. Having a hook at each end gives the surgeon two working tip options on a single instrument, useful when a procedure calls for hooking structures of slightly different size or depth without switching tools.
This instrument is used specifically in anorectal procedures such as fistula surgery, hemorrhoidectomy, and other anal canal work, where the surgeon needs to identify and manipulate small anatomical tracts and crypts that are not easily grasped with standard forceps. The hook shape allows gentle traction to be applied to bring a structure into view or to help trace the course of a fistula tract before it is treated.
This instrument is a standard component of colorectal and anorectal surgery trays, used by colorectal surgeons and general surgeons performing this type of procedure, and is reprocessed for reuse following routine sterilization.
