Reliable spay hook
Does exactly what it should and the handle knurling gives a secure grip when gloves are wet. I would have liked a slightly more pronounced hook curve.

Clinical overview
The Canine/Feline Snook Hook is a fundamental soft tissue retraction instrument for small animal surgery. Its 180mm length provides optimal reach and control during abdominal, thoracic, and integumentary procedures. The hook design allows surgeons to safely elevate and retract tissues without causing trauma, making it an essential tool for both routine spays/neuters and complex surgical cases.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, this instrument withstands repeated sterilization cycles and maintains its precision edge and hook geometry throughout its service life. The lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures, while the ergonomic grip design ensures confident handling in wet surgical environments.

Customer reviews
4.3· 3 reviewsIdeal for feline spays
The hook atraumatically retrieves the uterine horn through a small midline incision, which keeps my cat spays tidy and quick. The 180mm length suits most patients I see.
Dr. Bernard Callahan, MDVerified buyerOct 31, 2025
Well-finished instrument
The tip is smooth and rounded so it slides along the body wall without snagging tissue. Balance is good and it autoclaves without any pitting.
