15cm, 6″
Plastic and reconstructive procedures often depend on small, controlled movements at the skin edge, and the YANKAUER SKIN HOOKS are built for exactly that kind of work. This 15cm (6″) handheld hook gives the surgeon a compact, easily maneuvered instrument for lifting and positioning skin during closure, flap elevation, or fine dissection, where every millimeter of unnecessary instrument bulk can slow the pace of the work.
At 15cm, the hook is short enough to keep hand movements tight and deliberate, which matters when working near visible or cosmetically sensitive tissue. The single sharp point offers a focused contact area, letting the surgeon control tension on the skin edge without the broader footprint of a toothed forceps or a self-retaining device holding the field open throughout the case.
* 15cm overall length: compact sizing for close, controlled skin-edge work.
* Single hook tip: a defined point of contact for lifting or steadying tissue during closure.
* Lightweight handheld profile: reduces fatigue during procedures requiring repeated small adjustments.
* Reusable stainless build: suited to standard sterile processing when handled per facility protocol.
Part of Next Edge Surgical LLC’s retractors range, this hook is a practical addition to any plastic surgery or general closure tray, whether used as a primary instrument or kept in reserve for finer moments in the case. Its compact size also makes it easy to pass between surgeon and assistant without disrupting the pace of a closure, and it stores neatly alongside other small handheld instruments on a standard tray.
