Product Overview
The Guthrie Fixation Hooks are specifically designed to fixate, retract, and stabilize the globe and surrounding ocular tissues during ophthalmic surgical procedures. Their dual-pronged sharp tips distribute tissue engagement across two contact points, providing a more stable and balanced hold on conjunctival, episcleral, and limbal tissues compared to single-hook instruments, reducing the risk of tissue tearing or slippage during globe manipulation throughout the procedure.
Manufactured from high-grade German surgical stainless steel, these fixation hooks are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and fully reusable after sterilization. Available in two prong size configurations, small prongs at 4 3/4" and large prongs at 5", they accommodate varying tissue depths and procedural requirements, giving surgeons flexible options for secure and controlled globe fixation across a wide range of ophthalmic surgical settings.
