16cm, 6½”
sharp
The HARTMANN Skin Hook, SKU 08-177-16, measures 16 cm, or 6 1/2 inches, and has a sharp working end. It is listed by Next Edge Surgical LLC within the Hooklet & Skin Hooks range. The instrument’s mid-range length gives it a practical position between shorter close-field hooks and longer models designed for additional reach.
Its sharp working point provides a defined area of engagement for appropriate skin or superficial tissue. This focused configuration can be useful when exposure depends on small, deliberate adjustments rather than broad tissue displacement.
Product details worth considering:
* 16 cm length: Provides useful reach while remaining suitable for direct handheld control.
* Sharp hook: Offers a focused point for engaging appropriate tissue.
* Skin hook pattern: Gives the surgical team a dedicated option for localized superficial exposure.
* Mid-range format: Fits between smaller and longer hook configurations within a diversified instrument set.
For surgical teams, maintaining several lengths can make instrument selection more responsive to the size and accessibility of the operative field. The HARTMANN model can therefore work alongside other hooks instead of being treated as a universal exposure instrument.
Its dedicated pattern is also helpful during tray preparation. Staff can distinguish the instrument by its name, length, and working-end configuration when assembling procedure-specific sets.
Next Edge Surgical LLC supplies these retractors for professional surgical environments. The 16 cm length and sharp hook provide a focused combination for cases requiring controlled skin traction and direct tissue positioning.
Consider the HARTMANN Skin Hook when a moderate-length, sharp working end fits the requirements of the surgical procedure.
