As the needle passes through the tissue, the Lalonde® Skin Hook Forceps’ needle holding pads easily retrieve it.
Gentler is better ... especially when manipulating skin or the glans during delicate surgery
like hypospadias repair. The Lalonde® Skin Hook Forceps is less traumatic because it gently
grasps with over-lapping hooks instead of crushing teeth. Scarring is minimal, and post operative
healing is improved.
The Lalonde® Skin Hook Forceps are also versatile. The design includes a needle-holding
feature for easy pick up of the needle as it passes through the skin. Double instrument tying is
simplified, procedures are shorter and more efficient.
