Nasal surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure nasal tissues by catching and/or pulling them during inspection of a nasal polyp with minimal trauma. These nasal surgical hooks typically consist of handheld manual stainless steel instruments with a shank shallow bent near the distal end (usually at angles from 135 to 180 degrees) and finished in a blunt or sharp tip; the hooks typically include a handle at the proximal end. Nasal polyp hooks usually draw the soft palate forward to allow inspection of the mass; they are provided with a proper smooth finish, durability and flexibility. Nasal polyp hooks are used during medical procedures (e.g., to examine the palate in search of evidence of polyps).
