Breunings Tonsil Knife 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in tonsillectomy and related oropharyngeal procedures, this instrument provides a sharp, controllable cutting edge for precise separation of tonsillar tissue from the tonsillar bed and surrounding mucosa. It is intended for cold-steel dissection techniques where tactile feedback and fine cutting control are required, including extracapsular and intracapsular tonsil removal, removal of peritonsillar adhesions, and delicate trimming of residual tissue.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's blade geometry and overall length afford reach into the oropharynx while allowing the surgeon to maintain a stable hand position and visual control. A single-edged dissecting blade concentrates cutting force on a narrow edge for efficient, low-trauma tissue separation. The 23 cm overall length provides additional working distance for use in adult patients and standard operating setups. The balance between blade length and handle control supports precise sharp dissection where blunt instruments or cautery are not desirable.
