Hardesty tenotomy hook 4 3/4" curved 5.0mm hook with markings 14.0mm and 20.0mm from tip flat handle

Controlled Access for Precise Tenotomy Handling

The Hardesty tenotomy hook is a 4 3/4-inch surgical hook designed to support controlled tissue engagement during tenotomy-related handling. Its curved 5.0 mm hook follows the instrument’s intended working profile, while markings positioned 14.0 mm and 20.0 mm from the tip provide visual depth references during use. The flat handle offers a straightforward grasp for instrument control in both General Surgery and Ophthalmic workflows. By combining a compact curved tip with clearly identified reference points, this hook supports deliberate positioning, access, and manipulation where measured handling is important.

Use Cases

• Support tenotomy-related tissue engagement and controlled manipulation in General Surgery.
• Assist with fine tissue handling in Ophthalmic procedures where a compact curved hook is appropriate.
• Use the 14.0 mm and 20.0 mm markings from the tip as visual reference points during positioning.
• Use the curved 5.0 mm hook to approach tissue along a curved working path.
• Maintain a direct, stable grasp through the flat handle during surgical instrument handling.
