Gass Retinal Detachment Hook

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 v-shaped tip, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Maltzman-Fenzl 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 tip contains 2 prongs designed to cup the lens in a variety of positions. Both angled and straight models are available with the hook depending on surgical preference.

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.

0.25 mm diameter, blunt tip, angled Harris-Sinskey Lens Manipulating Hook is a useful tool in cataract procedures. The hook may be used to maneuver lens tissue in order to facilitate extraction of the opacified tissue. The smaller diameter hook affords the surgeon increased control during the procedure. In addition, the blunt tip ensures minimal tissue damage or posterior capsule tear.
