The Von Graefe Strabismus Hooks are specially designed for isolating, lifting, and retracting extraocular muscles during strabismus correction and ocular motility procedures. Their smooth blunt hook tips allow surgeons to pass safely and confidently beneath the muscle belly and tendon, providing a firm and reliable hold for controlled muscle retraction while protecting surrounding conjunctival, episcleral, and scleral tissues from inadvertent trauma throughout the entire surgical procedure.
Manufactured from high-grade German surgical stainless steel, these strabismus hooks are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and fully reusable after sterilization. Available in three hook depth sizes — small 8mm, medium 10mm, and large 11mm — all on a well-balanced 5 1/2" handle, they provide comprehensive muscle engagement options to accommodate varying muscle sizes, tissue depths, and individual surgical preferences across a broad range of strabismus and ocular motility procedures.
