Clinical Application
Designed for use in tonsillectomy and oropharyngeal procedures where firm, reliable purchase of soft tissue is required. The instrument provides secure traction on the tonsil during dissection, snare placement, or delivery, helping the surgeon maintain control of the operative field and facilitate hemostasis and visualization.
Design & Configuration
The ring-handle, ratcheted configuration permits sustained, adjustable closure for hands-free retention once engaged. The 3x3-tooth jaw pattern delivers multiple points of contact for a positive grip on friable tonsillar tissue, reducing slippage during traction. The 21 cm length balances reach into the oropharynx with ergonomic control at the handles, suitable for both adult and many pediatric applications.
