Millard thumb hook 1 sharp prong 5.0mm diameter

Controlled Retraction with a Focused Sharp-Prong Design

The Millard thumb hook is a general surgery hook designed for controlled tissue engagement and retraction during operative handling. Its single sharp prong provides a focused contact point, while the 5.0 mm diameter supports a compact profile for work in areas where precise instrument placement is important. The thumb-hook format offers a familiar way to position and manipulate the instrument during surgical tasks, helping support clear exposure and deliberate tissue handling. With its defined sharp tip and practical 5 mm functional size, this hook is suited to workflows that require focused engagement rather than broad, multi-prong contact.

Use Cases

• Engaging tissue with a single sharp prong during controlled retraction tasks.
• Supporting focused exposure where a compact 5 mm hook profile is appropriate.
• Positioning and manipulating tissue during general surgery workflows.
• Using a thumb-hook format for deliberate instrument handling and placement.
