12.7cm, 5″
large size 7mm diameter
At the upper end of the Kleinert-Kutz size range sits this 12.7cm (5″) hook with a large 7mm diameter tip, intended for cases where a broader point of tissue engagement is more useful than a fine one. Where the 3mm and 5mm versions favor precision, this larger tip trades some of that narrowness for a firmer, more distributed hold, which can matter when handling thicker tissue or when the surgeon wants a steadier grip during a longer stretch of retraction within the procedure.
* 7mm tip diameter: the largest in this size family, suited to broader or thicker tissue structures.
* 12.7cm overall length: matched to the small and medium versions for a consistent hand feel across sizes.
* Single-point handheld hook: allows direct, moment-to-moment control rather than a fixed self-retaining hold.
* Durable stainless build: made for repeated use in surgical settings when cleaned per established facility protocols.
Rounding out a Kleinert-Kutz set with all three diameters gives operating-room staff the flexibility to match instrument to tissue rather than the other way around, an approach that tends to reduce the need for improvised workarounds mid-case. This hook is part of Next Edge Surgical LLC’s handheld surgical retractors offering, and pairs naturally with the small and medium sizes already covered in this same family of instruments. Facilities that see a steady volume of hand cases often find it worthwhile to keep two or three of each size in circulation.
