Maltzman-Fenzl Lens Manipulating Hook

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.

0.75 mm hook, angled, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Hirschman Iris Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures and operations needing access to the lens capsule. The 0.75mm hook provides fine control while retracting only a selected portion of iris tissue. A blunted tip assures minimal tissue damage to the surrounding globe.

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.

5-1/8" (13.0 cm) Jameson Muscle Hook is a useful tool in performing strabismus or other ophthalmologic procedures involving the ocular muscles. The hook can be used to elevate the muscle tissue for dissection and reattachment. The rounded tip ensures atraumatic entrance underneath the desired muscle. Two different sizes are available with the hook depending on surgical preference.
