Description
Dissecting needle, hook-shaped is a laboratory preparative instrument featuring a hooked tip for lifting, holding, and gently retracting tissue or specimen structures during dissection. The hook-shaped geometry differs from a straight fine needle and is suited to tasks where a curved catch point helps secure or reposition material without relying solely on linear piercing. Supplied as one piece, the tool has a net weight of 0,01 kg and a gross weight of 0,016 kg, remaining light enough for extended handling in teaching labs and research benches. It is manufactured in Germany in the North Rhine-Westphalia region by Hammacher and belongs to the laboratory materials range used in anatomical preparation and related life-science work. The hooked profile supports controlled manipulation when operators need to elevate layers, free adhesions, or stabilise small structures while other instruments complete the cut or separation. As a single-unit accessory it integrates readily into existing dissection kits alongside forceps, scalpels, and straight needles. Facilities stocking durable basic labware for student courses or routine specimen work can add this hook-shaped dissecting needle as a focused preparative component without unnecessary complexity.
This article is part of Needles & cannulas, in Syringes & needles.

Questions about Dissecting needle, hook shaped
What is this article?
Dissecting needle, hook shaped is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher for laboratory use. It sits in Needles & cannulas, inside Syringes & needles, in Lab consumables.
A needle or a cannula is specified by gauge, length and point, and by how it connects, Luer or cemented. A blunt needle is for transfer. A sharp needle is for piercing. Gauge is the outer diameter: a higher gauge is a thinner needle. The fitting has to match the syringe.
A syringe is a barrel and a piston. A disposable syringe is for transfer and injection. A microlitre syringe is a precise analytical tool, often with a cemented or removable needle, used to inject into a chromatograph. The needle gauge and the point, and the Luer or cemented connection, have to match the job. A Luer slip and a Luer lock are not the same fitting. In-vitro and diagnostic context is under ISO in vitro diagnostic systems.
