Covault Spay Hook 9 Inch Curved Probe Tip | Veterinary Ovariectomy Hook | SAG Surgical

Description

The Covault spay hook 9 Inch with curved probe tip is a specialized veterinary surgical instrument designed for safe and efficient uterine horn retrieval during ovariohysterectomy (spay) procedures in dogs and cats . The SAG Surgical Covault spay hook features a long, slender probe-like shaft with a curved end and a blunt buttoned tip, engineered for atraumatic tissue manipulation and precise ovarian ligament retraction .

This veterinary spay hook is uniquely crafted with a thinner, more delicate shaft compared to the Snook hook, making it ideal for feline spays and smaller canine patients . The Covault ovariectomy hook features a curved probe tip with a distinctive “button” or ball-shaped end that is designed to catch the broad ligament or uterine horn without puncturing adjacent organs or causing vascular trauma . The 9-inch (23cm) overall length of this spay hook provides extended reach for deep abdominal access in various patient sizes .

The Covault spay hook is often described as a “precision seeker,” allowing the surgeon to sweep the abdominal wall and retrieve the uterine horn through a small incision without the need for extensive manual exploration . This design feature minimizes surgical time, reduces invasiveness, and supports faster post-operative recovery . The blunt button tip is significantly safer than pointed alternatives, allowing the instrument to slide smoothly along the abdominal wall and between organs .

Covault spay hooks are used across multiple veterinary settings including small animal clinics, high-volume spay/neuter facilities, animal shelters, and veterinary teaching hospitals . This ovariectomy hook assists veterinarians in performing safe, efficient feline and canine sterilization procedures . The instrument is designed to “blindly” yet safely locate and retrieve the uterine horn through a small primary incision, making it a mechanical necessity for veterinarians who prioritize minimally invasive techniques .

Veterinary surgical instruments are manufactured to the highest standards using premium surgical-grade stainless steel . This ensures that every Covault spay hook maintains its precision and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. This veterinary spay hook is fully reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium Covault spay hooks that meet the demanding requirements of modern veterinary surgical practice. Every ovariectomy hook undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
