Fisher tonsil knife 22.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for sharp dissection during tonsillectomy and related oropharyngeal procedures, this instrument is used to incise mucosa, divide peritonsillar adhesions, and perform precise sharp undermining of the tonsillar capsule. Its form is intended to provide controlled cutting in confined oral cavities and to facilitate rapid, accurate tissue division where blunt dissection or scissors are less effective.

Design & Configuration

The slim, single-ended blade with a tapered, pointed tip delivers a fine line of sight and precise control for delicate dissections around vascular structures and mucosal flaps. The 22.5 cm overall length gives added reach for adult exposures while helping the operator maintain ergonomic control and a safe working distance from the oral aperture. The simple scalpel-like profile allows for predictable cutting behavior and easy manipulation within the tonsillar fossa.
