Von Graefe strabismus hook 5 3/8" size #1 small 8.0mm flat hook flat handle

Controlled Access for Focused Tissue Retraction

The Von Graefe strabismus hook is a small surgical hook designed to support controlled tissue engagement and exposure during strabismus procedures. Its 5 3/8-inch length provides useful reach, while the small #1, 8.0 mm flat hook profile supports focused access in a compact working area. The flat handle offers a straightforward gripping surface for deliberate instrument positioning and manipulation. Suitable for ophthalmic applications and relevant general-surgery workflows involving small-hook access, this instrument helps maintain a clear, organized approach to localized tissue handling without adding unnecessary bulk to the operative field.

Use Cases

• Support tissue engagement and exposure during ophthalmic strabismus procedures.
• Use the 8.0 mm flat hook for focused access in a compact operative area.
• Apply the 5 3/8-inch length when controlled reach is useful during instrument positioning.
