The Miya Hook is a specialized gynaecological surgical instrument primarily used in vaginal and uterine procedures. It is designed to grasp, retract, or manipulate tissues during pelvic surgeries, particularly in vaginal hysterectomies and uterine manipulations. Its long, slender body and curved hook allow for deep access with minimal trauma, and the ergonomic handle ensures control during delicate procedures.
