Description

The Sklar Blue Iris Hook, is most commonly used in electrosurgical OB/GYN procedures involving the uterus. The hook, available in multiple diameters, is at the end of a long, narrow handle, often 9 or 12 inches in length. Sklar Blue electrosurgical instruments feature high quality stainless steel with an insulated coating. This safe coating prevents radio frequency currents from being transmitted through the instrument which reduces the burning of non-targeted tissue. Sklar Blue instruments are fully autoclavable and may also be cleaned ultrasonically. All Sklar Blue 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 Blue electrosurgical coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects. This product is straight with a 1mm hook tip and an overall length of 12 inches.
