Hooks
A surgical hook is the smallest retractor there is. It lifts one structure — a muscle, a nerve, a lens, an edge of skin — without the bulk of a blade, which is why hooks turn up in every specialty from eye surgery to laparoscopy.
This collection gathers more than 180 of them, sorted here by what they lift. The tip decides the job, so every listing states tip shape, size and angle. Order single hooks, or send us your list to have a full tray quoted.

Blunt, Sharp or Electrified
A blunt hook slides under a structure without piercing it. That is what you want around muscle, nerve, vessel and lens capsule, where a puncture is a complication.
A sharp hook bites into tissue and holds it. Skin hooks are sharp because the whole point is to grip the wound edge firmly with almost no crush — far less trauma than a toothed forceps.
A laparoscopic J- or L-hook is a monopolar electrode: it lifts a thin band of tissue away from what lies beneath, then cuts or coagulates it. The shape is the same principle, used as a dissecting tool.
How to Choose
Tip. Blunt for structures you must not injure; sharp for gripping skin and fascia. Single, double or triple prongs spread the pull along a wider edge.
Size and reach. Hook length ranges from 0.15mm lens tips to 7mm skin hooks. Overall length runs from about 13cm for eye and plastic work to 19cm for deep neurosurgery.
Angle and handle. Angled tips reach around corners in the eye and ear. Titanium versions are lighter and non-magnetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a strabismus hook used for?
Passing under an eye muscle to isolate and lift it during strabismus surgery.
Why use a skin hook instead of forceps?
A skin hook holds the wound edge at a single point without crushing it, which is gentler on tissue and better for the final scar.
What is a J-hook in laparoscopy?
A monopolar electrode shaped like a J, used to hook and divide tissue under cautery. Irrigation versions flush the field through the same shaft.
What is a Krayenbuehl hook?
A fine neurosurgical hook for lifting nerves and vessels, listed here in several hook lengths at 19cm.
