Sklar Blocksma Cleft Palate Hook, Sharp
A 7 inch sharp-pointed hook used in cleft palate surgery to retract and manipulate soft palate tissue, offered with single or double hook tips, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Blocksma Cleft Palate Hook is a surgical retraction instrument used by plastic and craniofacial surgeons during cleft palate repair. Its sharp prong tip is used to gently catch and hold soft palate tissue so the surgeon can manipulate the flap and improve visibility and access while suturing.
This listing covers two tip styles at 7 inches, a double hook and a single hook, both with a sharp point, so a facility can select the configuration a given surgeon prefers or keep both on hand for different steps of the repair. The instrument is generally supplied as part of a cleft palate or pediatric plastic surgery set and is intended for use by trained surgical staff in an operating room setting.
Because cleft palate procedures often involve small, delicate tissue and limited working space, having both hook patterns available lets the surgical team adapt quickly during the case without switching to a different instrument tray.
