An adentome is a surgical tool used in adenoidectomy procedures to remove enlarged lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx, such as adenoids or pharyngeal tonsils. Its design typically includes a long, slender shaft with cutting blades at the tip, allowing precise excision during minimally invasive nasal surgery.
These instruments are generally reusable and come in various configurations, including one-piece models or those requiring blade attachment. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified based on their surgical function and risk level, with compliance requirements tied to their intended use and manufacturing standards.
