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.

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.
