Dissecting Hook & Chain Set (Product Code: SLE/EDE/12) holds specimens in place during dissection using 3 stainless steel hooks that are attached at one end by a loop. Once the body wall is opened, the hooks keep tissue drawn back so the student has both hands free for instruments, and the set is offered in a choice of large or small. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a manufacturer and biology lab instruments supplier to schools, colleges and distributors.

| Product type | Dissecting hook and chain set |
| Hooks | 3 |
| Hook material | Stainless steel |
| Construction | Hooks attached at one end by a loop |
| Sizes | Large or small |
After the first incision, each hook is caught into the edge of the skin or body wall and the common loop is anchored, for example over a pin set into the wax of the pan. The three hooks spread the opening evenly on several sides, exposing organs without the crowd of pins that would otherwise be needed. Teachers find the set especially helpful in demonstrations, where the cavity must stay open while the class gathers round.
Pick the small size for small specimens and fine work, and the large size when more tissue has to be held back. Because the hooks are stainless steel, they can be washed and dried with the rest of the instruments at the end of the lesson. It makes a useful extra in any dissection kit for school biology rooms where students work in pairs.
The set comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company behind the ScienceLab brand. The company is registered as an MSME with manufacturing as its main activity (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade for its export business. The company profile has further details.

How many hooks are in the set?
Three stainless steel hooks, attached together at one end by a loop.
Should I order the large or small size?
Choose small for small specimens and delicate work, and large where more tissue must be held back. Exact dimensions are not listed, so please ask through the contact page if you need them.
How is the set anchored during dissection?
The loop is usually secured over a pin in a wax pan or board, while each hook holds back a section of the body wall.
Does it replace dissecting pins?
Not entirely. Pins still fix the specimen to the pan; the hook set retracts tissue so fewer pins are needed around the opening.
How should the hooks be cleaned?
Wash them in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly, then store the set so the hooks do not tangle with other instruments.
What should I include in a quotation request?
Give code SLE/EDE/12, the size (large or small), quantity and delivery address. We supply buyers across India and international markets.
