Surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure eye tissue by catching and/or pulling it during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other surgical procedures with minimal trauma. These surgical hooks typically consist of handheld manual stainless steel instruments either curved or sharply bent at the working end (usually at angles from 135 to 180 degrees); the hooks typically include a slender handle at the proximal end. Standard or custom surgical eye hooks are available in various sizes. They are usually provided with a smooth finish, durability and flexibility. Dedicated eye tendon, strabismus and microsurgery hooks are also available. Eye surgical hooks are used during ocular surgical procedures.
