There is ancistrum or anchistris, meaning a surgical retractor (I hope that is the correct English term, 'chirurgischer Haken'), Caelius Aurelianus and Isidor, Etym. 4,11,3. Amiantus is Plinius, Nat. Hist. 36,139 and Isidor 16,4,19. And I would consult the Vetus Latina text of Ex. 27,1
ancistrium is derived from the Greek, of course - ἄγκιστριον
