Product Overview

The Cottle Tenaculum Hook (also known as the Cottle Skin Hook) is an essential instrument for achieving optimal exposure in confined surgical sites. Its sharp, fine-point hook is engineered to penetrate the dermis or mucosa just enough to provide a secure, “beast-like” grip without causing excessive tissue trauma. It is particularly effective for retracting the alar rim or holding a septal flap in place during suturing or dissection.

Key Features

• Micro-Sharp Hook Tip: Features a precision-honed sharp point that ensures an immediate and secure hold on slippery or dense soft tissue.

• Slender, Tapered Shaft: The ultra-slim neck provides a clear line of sight, allowing the surgeon to work comfortably with needles or other instruments in the immediate vicinity of the hook.

• Versatile Hook Variations: Available in Single or Double hook configurations to accommodate different retraction needs—from fine-point elevation to broader tissue stabilization.

• Ergonomic Round Handle: Designed with a knurled, textured handle that provides a secure, non-slip grip, allowing for minute rotational adjustments and steady tension.

• Premium Surgical Steel: Forged from high-grade, tempered stainless steel to ensure the hook tip remains sharp and the shaft resists bending under tension.
