Hooks and Probes

Hooks and Probes are essential surgical instruments used across a wide range of specialties—from general and plastic surgery to ENT, ophthalmology, and neurosurgery—for exploration, retraction, and precise tissue manipulation. These tools are engineered to provide tactile feedback and visual guidance without causing trauma, making them indispensable in delicate and confined surgical fields.Surgical Hooks—including skin hooks, nerve hooks, and retraction hooks—are designed with fine, curved, or blunt tips that gently lift or separate tissues for better visibility and access. Common variants like Gillies, Joseph, and Green hooks ensure minimal tissue disruption while enabling high-precision flap elevation or soft tissue handling.Surgical Probes—such as fistula probes, lacrimal probes, and urethral probes—facilitate the detection and navigation of sinus tracts, ducts, or narrow channels within the body. With variations in tip shapes (olive, ball-end, malleable), they are widely used in both diagnostic and interventional procedures
