The Spray Hook, also known as Snooker Hook, is a specialized surgical instrument designed for precision retraction or manipulation of soft tissues during procedures. Its unique curved structure allows for access into difficult areas with minimal tissue trauma

•  Design: Curved or semi-curved with a rounded blunt tip

•  Length: Standard surgical size (varies per set)

•  Finish: Matte / Satin for reduced glare

•  Grip: Smooth or serrated handle for improved control

•  Available in standard and custom sizes

•  Curved “snooker” shape ideal for narrow space access

•  Designed to reduce tissue slippage during use

•  Premium Stainless Steel (Surgical Grade)

•  Rust-resistant and corrosion-proof

•  Reusable and autoclavable for long-term use

•  Surgical Instruments

•  Sub-category: Retractors / Hooks

•  Reusable

•  Non-disposable/ Single-piece forged or welded construction

•  Gently retracting tissue during surgical or clinical procedures

•  Commonly used in ENT, gynaecological, and minor surgical setups

• Assists in visualization and access during procedures

•  Minimizes soft tissue damage

•  High control with minimal pressure

•  Allows visibility in tight operative fields

•  Lightweight and easy to handle

•  Not suitable for heavy retraction

•  Must be used with care to avoid over-manipulation

•  Improper sterilization may lead to corrosion over time

•  Always inspect for tip integrity before use

•  Avoid applying excessive force

•  Ensure proper sterilization before and after each use

•  HS Code: 9018.90.99

•  HSN Code: 9018 (Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences)

•  Hold with a firm but gentle grip

•  Use in conjunction with other soft tissue instruments when necessary

•  Do not drop or bend to maintain precision

•  Autoclave-safe (Steam sterilization at 134°C)

•  Can be sterilized using ETO or cold chemical methods

•  Store in dry, clean conditions to preserve finish

Veterinary Application:

Used for small animal surgeries where fine tissue retraction is needed, especially in oral or nasal procedures. Allows better field view without traumatizing delicate tissues.

Human Application:

Commonly used in ENT, obstetric, or minor surgical settings, the Spray Hook aids in tissue handling and retraction in compact operative zones, enhancing procedural efficiency

1. Is the Spray Hook reusable?

Yes, it is made of surgical-grade stainless steel and designed for repeated use after proper sterilization.

2. What is the difference between Spray Hook and Snooker Hook?

They are essentially the same instrument, referred to differently based on region or preference.

3.Can it be used in dental surgeries?

Yes, particularly in soft tissue manipulation and retraction in confined spaces.

4.Is it suitable for paediatric surgeries?

Yes, but smaller size variants should be selected for paediatric applications.

5.Does it come in different finishes?

Typically available in matte/satin to reduce surgical light glare.
