Sklar Barsky Skin Hook, Sharp Double and Single Prong
A sharp 6 inch skin hook for lifting and retracting skin edges during incision and closure, available in double or single prong tips for plastic and general surgery.
The Sklar Barsky Skin Hook is a fine surgical retraction instrument designed to grasp and lift the edge of the skin during incision, undermining and wound closure. Surgeons and operating room staff reach for a skin hook whenever they need gentle, controlled tension on a skin margin without crushing the tissue the way a forceps might, which makes it a common choice in plastic surgery, dermatologic procedures and general surgical closures.
This listing covers the 6 inch length and comes in two prong styles, a double prong version and a single prong version, so the surgeon can choose the tip that suits the tissue thickness and the angle of traction needed. The sharp points bite lightly into the dermis to hold position during suturing or flap elevation, then release cleanly.
Built to the same standard as the rest of the Sklar surgical instrument range, it is intended for reuse after proper reprocessing between cases. Facilities stocking a range of hooks typically keep both prong counts on hand so the scrub team can match the instrument to the procedure.
