21 cm, 8″
Blunt
The 08-234-21 Kocher Hooklet is a 21 cm (8-inch) retractor intended for controlled tissue retraction and operative exposure. Its hooklet configuration gives the surgeon a defined point of contact for drawing tissue away from the working area while maintaining a clear line of access. The blunt end is particularly relevant when a less pointed contact surface is preferred for the intended application. This model belongs to Next Edge Surgical LLC’s range of retractors, giving procurement teams a practical option for instrument sets that require a compact hooklet pattern.
A 21 cm overall length provides a useful balance between reach and direct hand control. The instrument can be positioned from the edge of the operative field without the added reach of a longer pattern, which may be helpful when the working area is relatively accessible. Because the page identifies the instrument specifically as a Kocher Hooklet, it is best selected according to the procedural technique and tissue exposure requirements of the clinical team.
