A tonsillectome is a surgical instrument used in tonsillectomy procedures to remove tonsils from the throat. These devices come in two main designs: a flexible loop for grasping and cutting tonsils or a metal frame with a sliding blade for precise excision, often operated manually.
Tonsillectomes are typically reusable surgical tools, regulated as medical devices under strict safety and performance standards. They are supplied sterile for single-use procedures and must meet classification requirements based on their design and risk profile in each market.
