The Suture Hook is an essential arthroscopic instrument engineered for the precise delivery of sutures through dense soft tissue. Specifically designed for "Inside-Out" and "Outside-In" techniques, this instrument features a hollow-core needle with a specialized hooked tip that allows for the atraumatic piercing of labral or rotator cuff tissue. Manufactured from high-strength 304V Stainless Steel, the Suture Hook provides the perfect balance of rigidity for tissue penetration and flexibility to navigate tight joint spaces. The ergonomic, lightweight handle is color-coded for quick identification of the tip direction (Left-Curved, Right-Curved, Up-Curved, or Straight), ensuring surgical efficiency during complex repairs. Once the tissue is pierced, a suture can be easily advanced through the hollow shaft using a nitinol feeder or by manual advancement. The TOOLMED Suture Hook is the professional standard for achieving anatomical, high-tension tissue approximation in Shoulder, Hip, and Knee arthroscopy.

Product Description
Each hook is precision-ground to a razor-sharp point, allowing it to glide through even the toughest fibrocartilage without tearing or damaging the surrounding tissue fibers.
The slim shaft design and variety of tip angles allow surgeons to access difficult-to-reach areas of the joint, such as the posterior labrum or the deep hip capsule, with minimal effort.
The internal lumen is ultra-smooth and polished to prevent suture snagging. This ensures that high-strength UHMWPE sutures move freely through the instrument for fast, consistent knot-tying.
Primarily used for rotator cuff repair and Bankart/SLAP labral repairs. The hook allows the surgeon to pass sutures through the labrum or tendon to secure it back to the bone.
Essential for labral suturing and capsular closure. Its long reach and specific curves are designed to navigate the deep acetabular socket and the tight hip joint space.
Utilized in complex meniscal repairs and for passing sutures through the capsule during multi-ligament reconstructions or MPFL (Medial Patellofemoral Ligament) repairs.

A Suture Hook is a long, thin surgical tool with a tiny needle on the end that is curved like a hook. It is hollow on the inside, like a straw. It is used by surgeons during keyhole surgery to "poke" a hole through a torn ligament and then slide a piece of medical thread through it so they can stitch the tissue back together.
This tool is most commonly used in Shoulder Surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff or a dislocated shoulder. It is also very popular in Hip Surgery for fixing the labrum (the cartilage ring around the hip socket). It allows the doctor to sew inside the joint without having to make a large incision.
The main advantage is Accuracy. Because the hooks come in different angles (left, right, or up), the surgeon can choose the perfect shape to reach the tear regardless of where it is located. It is much easier to use than a regular needle and thread because it is rigid enough to push through tough cartilage but small enough to fit through a tiny 5mm tube.
Biomechanically, the Suture Hook is designed for Minimal Tissue Displacement. The sharp, tapered tip reduces the force ($F$) required to penetrate the tissue, which minimizes the "hole" left in the ligament. The shaft is engineered to resist bending ($M = F \times d$) when the surgeon pushes through thick tissue, ensuring the needle goes exactly where it is aimed for a perfect anatomical repair.
The surgeon inserts the Suture Hook through a cannula into the joint. They use the hooked tip to pierce the torn tissue. Once the tip is on the other side, they push a suture through the hollow handle and shaft until it appears in the joint. A separate tool is then used to grab that thread, and the Suture Hook is removed, leaving the thread exactly in the right place to be tied into a knot.
The Suture Hook is a tool used during surgery, not an implant that stays in your body. After the surgeon uses it to place the stitches, the tool is removed. Because the stitches are placed so precisely with this hook, the repair is very strong. Patients follow a standard physical therapy plan to help the tissue heal where it was stitched.
The Suture Hook is a fundamental instrument for any modern arthroscopic surgeon. By providing a variety of angles and a sharp, hollow-core design, TOOLMED enables surgeons to perform complex stitching tasks with higher speed and greater anatomical precision.
No. These are Single-Use instruments. This ensures the needle is always razor-sharp and perfectly sterile, and it prevents the hollow shaft from becoming clogged with debris from previous surgeries.
The different angles allow the surgeon to reach all sides of the joint. For example, a "Right" hook is used for the right side of the shoulder, and an "Up" hook is used to reach over the top of a bone or ligament.
Our standard Suture Hooks are designed to accommodate USP #2 or #0 sutures, which are the most common sizes used in shoulder and hip repairs.
Our hooks are made of 304V stainless steel, which is very tough. While they are designed to be strong, they are precision instruments and should not be used to pry on bone.
No, the suture is usually loaded by the surgical assistant or surgeon during the procedure, allowing them to choose the specific type of thread needed for the patient.
