Bone hook

A bone hook is a surgical instrument designed to grip or apply traction to bone during orthopedic or spinal procedures. Its robust, hook-shaped distal end allows surgeons to manipulate bone fragments or stabilize tissue while minimizing direct handling.

These devices are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and vary in handle design for ergonomic use. Regulation and classification depend on jurisdiction, with standards often addressing sterility, durability, and surgical precision for repeated use.
