A tonsil snare is a manual surgical tool used by clinicians to perform tonsillectomies within the oral cavity. The device features a specialized loop of wire that is tightened around the base of the tonsil to mechanically excise the tissue during ear, nose, and throat procedures.
These instruments are designed for repeated use and must be properly cleaned and sterilized between surgical cases. They function through purely mechanical cutting action rather than electrical energy or thermal ablation.
