Mannerfelt hook 6" modified small curve 2 sharp prongs round/flat handle

Controlled Access for General Surgical Retraction

The Mannerfelt hook is a 6-inch general surgery hook designed for controlled tissue engagement and retraction during hands-on surgical work. Its modified small curve and two sharp prongs support focused contact where a broader instrument may be less suitable, while the round/flat handle design provides two handling profiles for positioning and manipulation. The 6-inch length offers useful reach within the operative field without adding unnecessary instrument size. Built around a sharp tip configuration, this hook supports practical, task-focused handling when precise placement and dependable access are important to the surgical workflow.

Use Cases

• Engage and retract tissue with the two sharp prongs during general surgical procedures.
• Use the modified small curve to approach localized areas within the operative field.
• Position the 6-inch hook where added reach is useful for controlled manual manipulation.
• Use the round/flat handle surfaces to support varied hand positioning during instrument handling.
• Select the hook for general surgery tasks requiring a sharp-tipped hook configuration.

Care & Handling

• Clean the hook promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the two sharp prongs and modified curve for residue, damage, bending, or loss of alignment before use.
• Handle the sharp tip carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or instrument damage.
• Store the hook securely so the prongs and curved working end are protected from contact with other instruments.
