Designed by Dr. Hans Wilderjans, this curved hook knife boasts a uniquely designed shaft and a large hook, optimizing grip and allowing for deep cuts in thickened ligaments. The sharp blade effortlessly slices through firm, chronically thickened ligaments, and is specially designed to facilitate easy cutting of the palmar annular ligament in cases of chronic tenosynovitis of the digital flexor tendon sheath in the horse. Additionally, the silicone soft-grip, non-slip handle ensures precise handling and comfortable usage.
