Gass Retinal Detachment Hook

1.0 mm, blunt, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm) Shepard Iris Hook is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The hook is used to retract a portion of the iris tissue to gain access to the lens capsule. Often, multiple hooks are used at different positions around the iris and anchored, providing adequate visualization for lens removal. The hook features a blunt tip to minimize extraneous tissue damage.

flat handle, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm) Green Strabismus hook is a commonly used instrument in performing procedures involving the ocular muscles. The hook can be used to elevate the muscle tissue for dissection and reattachment. The toe of the hook is designed to press against the sclera and "ski" along the surface until the full muscle width has been discerned.

0.5 mm hook, 4-7/8" (12.4 cm) Knolle Iris Hook is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The hook is used to retract a portion of the iris tissue to gain access to the lens capsule. Often, multiple hooks are used at different positions around the iris and anchored, providing adequate visualization for lens removal. The Knolle hook has a slender tip for more selective retraction while featuring a serrated handle for an improved grip.

0.15 mm diameter, straight, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Jaffe Lens Manipulating Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures. The hook is used to manipulate the opacified native lens during a phacoemulsification procedure. The thin shaft of the hook is meant to maximize control of the instrument while providing enough leverage to maneuver the lens into a desired position.
