Tonsil Scissors are specialized surgical scissors designed for the precise dissection and excision of tonsillar tissue during tonsillectomy procedures. They typically feature long, robust shanks and strong, curved blades with sharp or serrated tips that allow the surgeon to engage, dissect, and cleanly snare the tonsil from its fossa. Their design provides the necessary leverage and control to separate the tonsil capsule from the underlying pharyngeal muscles while minimizing bleeding. This instrument is a fundamental tool in both traditional and modern techniques for removing the palatine tonsils.

Key Features:

  • Long, strong shanks with curved, sharp blades for deep access and controlled tonsil dissection.
