Surgical Hooks and Retractors Manufactured in Our Own Factory
Buyers here range from single surgeon aesthetic clinics fitting out a minor procedure room, through hospital supply chains restocking theatre trays, to distributors listing a full retraction section. The catalogue covers sharp and blunt skin hooks, ball end and cat paw retractors, hand held blade retractors in short and long patterns, rake retractors carrying two to eight prongs, malleable ribbon blades, nasal and rhinoplasty retractors with or without a fibre optic light post, and self retaining frames with ratchet locks. Blades are cut from solid stock, bent on our own forms, ground, deburred and polished before final inspection, so prong radius and blade thickness stay consistent between repeat orders.
Overall lengths run from about 14 cm for fine skin hooks to 24 cm for abdominal blades. Prong diameters, blade widths from 6 mm to 40 mm and depth of curve are all specified on each listing. Standard finish is satin to cut glare under theatre lights, with matt black available on request. Everything is reusable and autoclavable at 134 degrees C. Hooks can be ordered singly, in pairs or as a graduated set.

Choosing the Right Surgical Hooks and Retractors
Sharp prongs or blunt prongs
Sharp single and double prongs grip dermis precisely and leave a puncture that closes without a visible mark, which is why they dominate facial and eyelid work. Blunt or ball ended prongs are safer on thin flaps, vessels and nerves, and on skin that has already been undermined. Many surgeons keep both on the tray and swap once the flap is raised. Prong tips can be reground during service.
How many prongs a rake retractor needs
Prong count follows wound length and tissue weight. Two and three prong rakes suit short facial and hand incisions where an assistant holds tension with one finger. Four and six prong versions spread load along longer trunk incisions and reduce skin tearing. Eight prong rakes are mainly for heavy abdominal flaps. Wider spacing between prongs holds fat and fascia, closer spacing is kinder to thin skin.
Hand held or self retaining
A hand held blade gives an assistant live control of direction and tension, which matters when the plane changes constantly. A self retaining frame frees that assistant and holds a steady window for endoscope, cautery or drill work, at the cost of continuous pressure on the wound edges. For long cases, choose a frame with a fine ratchet so the opening can be released a notch at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which skin hook is best for facelift and eyelid surgery?
Fine double prong hooks of the Gillies or Joseph type, with prongs about 2 mm to 4 mm apart, are the usual choice for facial flaps because they hold dermis without crushing. For eyelid skin, many surgeons prefer a single fine prong or a delicate two prong Guthrie hook. Blunt versions are safer once the flap is thin and the plane is close to vessels.
Do you make fibre optic retractors with a light post?
Yes. Several nasal, breast and facelift retractor patterns are offered with a fibre optic light post and channel so a standard light cable can be attached. The channel is polished and sealed, and the retractor is still reusable and autoclavable at 134 degrees C. Tell us which cable fitting your theatre uses and we will supply the matching post.
What minimum order applies to wholesale retractor orders?
Minimums are deliberately low. Distributors often begin with a mixed carton of the fastest moving hook and retractor patterns rather than a full container. For private label work we keep the same approach, so branded packaging and laser marking can start at modest quantities. Hospital tender pricing is quoted separately against your item list and delivery schedule.
Can retractor blades be made in a non standard width?
They can. Blade width, depth, curvature and handle style are all controllable at manufacture, so a 22 mm blade at 18 cm overall, or a Langenbeck pattern with a deeper lip, is a normal request. Send a drawing, a photograph beside a ruler, or an existing instrument, and we will produce a sample for approval before the batch runs.
