Specs & features.

During an ovariohysterectomy, the veterinarian makes a small ventral midline incision. The Snook hook is inserted into the abdominal cavity and swept gently against the inner body wall to catch the uterine horn. Once the horn or broad ligament is engaged, the hook is carefully drawn toward the incision to externalize the reproductive organs, allowing for their safe removal.

No specifications have been listed.

  • Ball/Button Tip: The working end features a smooth, rounded "button tip" that prevents the hook from puncturing, tearing, or scratching delicate internal tissues and organs.
  • Hooked Working End: Features a curved hook designed to easily slide along the abdominal wall and gently loop around and lift the uterine horn.
  • Ergonomic Handle: Typically comes with a flat or textured solid grip handle that provides excellent leverage, precision, and control while reducing hand strain during lengthy procedures.
