Simon Skin Hook for Controlled Retraction

22cm, 8 3/4″
2 x sharp

The second SIMON Skin Hook in this range, SKU 08-176-22, has a different working configuration from SKU 08-175-22. This model measures 22 cm, or 8 3/4 inches, and features two sharp hooks. The product page identifies it as a fistula hook, giving the instrument a specialized purpose within the Hooklet & Skin Hooks category.
The two-hook arrangement provides two defined points of engagement rather than the single contact point found on the related SIMON model. That distinction matters when selecting instruments for a procedure because the working-end configuration can influence how localized tissue positioning is approached.
At a glance:
* Two sharp hooks: The dual-point configuration provides two working contacts for appropriate tissue engagement.
* 22 cm length: The extended instrument provides useful reach within the operative field.
* Fistula hook: Its listed designation gives it a specific place within procedure-oriented inventory.
* Direct handling: The operator can position and adjust the instrument manually as required.
Maintaining both single-hook and two-hook patterns gives surgical teams greater flexibility during case preparation. The appropriate model can be selected according to the desired working configuration rather than relying on one instrument for every exposure requirement.
This distinction is also useful for procurement and tray organization. Clear separation between similar-looking models helps staff identify the appropriate instrument before a procedure begins.
Next Edge Surgical LLC offers these retractors as part of its professional surgical instrument range. The two sharp hooks and 22 cm length make this SIMON configuration a useful choice where dual-point tissue engagement is required.
