16cm, 6 ¼” Right blunt
The BOSE Hooklet, SKU 08-171-16, is a right-blunt hooklet measuring 16 cm, or 6 1/4 inches. Its compact size and blunt working end give it a distinct role among handheld surgical hooks used for localized tissue positioning. The right-sided configuration also provides a specific orientation that may be useful when selecting an instrument according to the operative approach.
A hooklet is valuable when the surgeon needs a defined point of engagement instead of the broader contact area offered by conventional blade retractors. The blunt tip provides a focused working point for appropriate tissue handling, while the 16 cm length allows direct manipulation without introducing an unnecessarily long instrument into the field.
Product highlights:
* Right blunt configuration: The directional pattern gives the operator a specific working orientation during instrument selection.
* 16 cm length: This size provides a practical balance between reach and close-range control.
* Hooklet design: The focused working end is suited to localized tissue positioning rather than wide-area exposure.
* Blunt tip: The non-sharp end provides a different tissue-contact profile from sharp skin hooks.
For surgical teams, having several hooklet patterns available allows instrument selection to correspond more closely with the requirements of a particular procedure. The BOSE pattern can complement other tissue-handling instruments where focused exposure is needed.
Next Edge Surgical LLC includes these retractors within its professional Hooklet & Skin Hooks range. Its defined right-sided, blunt configuration makes it a useful addition to procedure-specific surgical inventory.
