<p>Extending from a point, namely the point of rotation (2), of a surgical hook (1), there are at least two curved arms (4, 5) whose free ends (A, B) each have a tip (6, 7) and which are curved in the same direction of rotation. The arms (4, 5) can be introduced into a patient's tissue by turning the hook (1) about the point of rotation (2). The hook (1) preferably comprises absorbable material, and the arms (4, 5) are preferably provided with barbs (8) which point away from the free ends (A, B) of the arms (4, 5) . The hook (1) is suitable for wound closure, including in a vertical direction, and also for fixing of implants.</p> |
