The Kilner hook is a fine, single-pronged skin hook for gently lifting and retracting skin edges and small tissue flaps. It is 15 cm long, with a slim handle and a small, sharp, curved hook at the tip. The hook holds the skin securely with very little pressure. This avoids the crushing and marking that forceps can cause, so the tissue stays healthy and scarring is kept to a minimum.
The delicate pattern is a staple of plastic, reconstructive and facial surgery. It is also useful in general surgery for undermining skin, handling wound edges and closing incisions with fine sutures. The hook is made from surgical-grade stainless steel, is reusable and can be autoclaved. It is made in Tuttlingen, Germany, by nopa instruments.
