Nasal surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure nasal tissues by catching and/or pulling them during dissection and excision in plastic surgical procedures with minimal trauma. Nasal surgical hooks typically consist of handheld manual stainless steel instruments with a shank bent near the distal end (usually at angles from 135 to 180 degrees) and a sharp or blunt tip. Rhinoplasty surgical hooks usually include two prongs at the distal tip and are available in different sizes. They can be supplied with an angled shaft to utilize the strength in the hand and provide an effective grip. These hooks are commonly used in plastic surgery procedures for reshaping the nose (e.g., rhinoplasty).
