Description

The Sklar Black Joseph Skin Hook is a handheld retractor commonly used for holding back the edges of skin during laser intranasal and pharyngeal procedures. It is available with a single or dual prong, sharp hook. The handle is often round and knurled and it tapers to the hook end. Sklar Black Laser instruments feature a non-reflective black polymer coating applied over the sandblasted instrument developed specifically for laser surgeries. This safe, durable coating reduces laser reflection to less than one-tenth of a percent, ensuring a safer surgical environment for patients and surgical staff. All Sklar Black coated instruments comply with biological testing requirements for cytotoxicity, sensitization regulatory, and ISO 10993 requirements. They also comply with the Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle Steam Sterilization Validation of ANSI/AAMI ST79. Sklar Black laser coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects. This product is straight with a sharp, double prong, hook tip and a length of 6-1/4 inches. The space between the two prongs is 10mm.
