Rectal surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure rectal tissues by catching and/or pulling them during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other examination procedures with minimal trauma. These rectal surgical hooks typically consist of handheld manual stainless steel instruments with a shank bent near the distal end (usually at angles of 45 or 90 degrees) and finished in a blunt tip; the hooks typically include a handle at the proximal end. Rectal fistula hooks that are double ended and barbed are also available. They are usually used during diagnostic examinations of the anal region.
