Eye surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure extraocular muscles during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other surgical procedures with minimal trauma. These eye surgical hooks typically consist of handheld manual stainless steel instruments sharply bent at the flat working end (usually at angles from 135 to 180 degrees) and with a dull finish; the hooks typically include a flat serrated handle at the proximal end. They are available in different sizes (small, medium, large) and with several degrees of depth of the working end. Eye strabismus hooks are used during ocular surgical procedures (e.g., to correct the misalignment of the eyes).
