Surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure nasal tissues by catching and/or pulling them during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other surgical procedures with minimal trauma. These 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 finished in a blunt or sharp tip; the hooks typically include a handle at the proximal end. Nasal surgical hooks usually include two prongs at the distal tip; they are provided with a proper smooth finish, durability and flexibility. Microsurgery, nasal polyp and rhinoplasty hooks are also available. Nasal hooks are used during surgical and outpatient procedures to remove foreign bodies from the nose.
