Clinical Application
The tonsil loop is used to mechanically excise tonsillar tissue by encircling and transecting the tonsil’s pedicle. It is employed in conventional cold‑steel snare techniques and in hybrid workflows where mechanical snaring is followed by targeted hemostasis. The loop permits controlled tissue capture and division for partial or complete tonsillectomy and may be used as part of combined tonsil and adenoid procedures when appropriate.
Design & Configuration
A preformed 50 mm wire loop provides a circumferential capture geometry suited to engaging tonsillar tissue and the tonsillar stalk. The slender loop profile facilitates placement into the peritonsillar space with minimal bulk, while the loop diameter balances capacity for adequate tissue capture with maneuverability in the oropharynx. Supplied in packets of 100, this format supports high‑volume clinical settings and easy replenishment for procedure trays.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: tonsil loop (preformed wire snare)
- Loop diameter: 50 mm
