Fomon Alar Hook

SURTEX® Fomon Alar Hooks assist surgeons to treat nasal diseases. For instance, the device retracts soft tissues like the nasal ala in plastic surgery. This exposes the nose in order to repair nose fractures and deviations that result from trauma or disease. In addition, it can treat pain and remove infected tissues. Surgeons place the button hook on the inside of the ala and pull back on the handle. Therefore, we designed the handle with a long and light frame to provide firm grips. Moreover, the flat profile grants comfort and prevents finger strain in long procedures. We made this SURTEX® Fomon Alar Hook with two models for your convenience. The first is 17 cm long and has one button end to pass into narrow spaces easily. The second is 16 cm long and has two round buttons in order to pull back tissues without damaging surrounding structures. In both models, the blunt tips have curved necks so you can see the inside of the nose directly. The SURTEX® Fomon Alar Hook has a slender design to reach deep parts of the nose. Furthermore, we offer other SURTEX® hooks to cover wide surgical indications. This includes the Lange and Cottle Alar Hooks, which have different blade shapes to customize your approach for every patient. SURTEX® Instruments manufacture these hooks from premium grade materials that you can depend on for years of fine service.
