Kleinert-Kutz Hook for Precise Tissue Handling

12.7cm, 5″ small size 3mm diameter

Hand and tendon procedures often come down to millimeters, which is why the KLEINERT-KUTZ HOOK is offered in graduated sizes rather than one universal fit. This particular version measures 12.7cm (5″) with a small 3mm diameter tip, built for cases where a delicate structure needs to be isolated or drawn aside without disturbing the surrounding tissue plane in a way that could complicate an already precise repair.
The Kleinert-Kutz name is closely tied to flexor tendon and hand surgery, where fine control matters more than reach or leverage. A 3mm tip gives surgeons a narrow, precise point of contact suited to smaller digits, thin tendons, or tight surgical corridors where a larger hook would crowd the field and obscure the surgeon’s view of the working area. The 12.7cm length keeps the instrument manageable for close, seated work at the hand table, where wrist and finger movements need to stay small and deliberate.
* Small 3mm tip diameter: supports precise engagement of narrow structures without excess tissue displacement.
* 12.7cm overall length: sized for controlled, close-range handling during hand and upper-extremity procedures.
* Reusable stainless design: suited to repeated clinical use when cleaned and processed per facility protocol.
This hook belongs to Next Edge Surgical LLC’s retractors category, alongside the medium and large diameter versions for teams that prefer to keep a full size range on hand for whatever a given hand case requires. Stocking all three diameters together also gives sterile processing staff a consistent, easily recognizable set to track through cleaning and inventory cycles.
