Gillies Skin Hook

Description

The STILLE Gillies Skin Hook (also referred to as the Gillies Stille Skin Hook) is a Gillies‑style surgical skin hook designed for precise retraction and manipulation of skin and soft tissues. Its long, flat shaft provides stable handling and clear visibility, while the fine, sharp single hook enables delicate traction intended to minimize tissue trauma. With a consistent overall length of 19 cm (7.5 in), it supports controlled exposure in procedures where finesse and accuracy are essential. Common applications include plastic and reconstructive surgery and other interventions requiring gentle, targeted retraction.
