HATE Daniel Hook Scissors – Endoscopic Brow Lift Scissors

The HATE Daniel hook scissors are German-made endoscopic scissors designed for endoscopic brow and forehead lift surgery. A long, curved shaft follows the contour of the skull, and the fine hook scissor jaws cut tissue precisely at the end of the instrument, all through a small incision in the scalp.

What Are Daniel Hook Scissors?

Daniel instruments are named after Dr. Rollin K. Daniel, who helped develop and popularize the endoscopic forehead lift. In this procedure, the surgeon works under endoscopic visualization through small incisions behind the hairline. Daniel hook scissors are used to divide tissue and release structures around the brow, such as the periosteum along the orbital rim and the brow depressor muscles, without a long coronal incision.

Features of the HATE Daniel Hook Scissors

• Hook scissor jaws: fine, precise cutting of tissue at the end of the shaft.
• Curved shaft: follows the curve of the forehead and skull to reach the brow from a scalp incision.
• Rotating knob: turns the jaws through 360° without turning the handle.
• Monopolar connector: connects to an electrosurgical unit for cutting and coagulation.
• Ergonomic ring handle: with a finger rest for stable, controlled operation.
• Made in Germany: manufactured by HATE to German surgical instrument standards.

Why Choose Endoscopic Hook Scissors for Brow Lifts?

Open brow lifts need a long incision across the scalp. The endoscopic approach uses a few short incisions, but it needs instruments long and curved enough to reach the brow while the surgeon watches on a monitor. Endoscopic hook scissors with a curved shaft let the surgeon follow the skull, rotate the jaws into the right position and cut cleanly, which supports a less invasive operation with smaller scars.

Clinical Uses

These Daniel hook scissors are suitable for:

• Endoscopic brow lift and forehead lift
• Release of the arcus marginalis and periosteum at the orbital rim
• Division of brow depressor muscles (corrugator and procerus)
• Other endoscopic plastic and facial surgery

How to Use the Daniel Hook Scissors

1. Inspect: check that the jaws open and close smoothly and that the insulation on the shaft is intact.
2. Insert: pass the closed jaws through the scalp incision under endoscopic visualization.
3. Position: use the rotating knob to orient the jaws to the tissue you plan to cut.
4. Cut: close the handle with controlled pressure. If you use monopolar energy, follow your electrosurgical unit’s settings.
5. Withdraw: close the jaws fully before removing the instrument.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Disconnect the electrosurgical cable and rinse the Daniel hook scissors immediately after use. If the instrument has a flushing port, flush the shaft thoroughly. Clean the jaws and joint with a soft brush or an ultrasonic cleaner, rinse, and dry. Inspect the shaft insulation for cracks before every use, and do not use the instrument with monopolar energy if the insulation is damaged. Sterilize according to your facility’s validated protocol and the manufacturer’s instructions.
