Device typeTonsil snare: A manual surgical instrument inserted into the oral cavity to remove the tonsils during ear/nose/throat (ENT) surgery. It typically consists of a cannula-like tube with two stationary and one sliding finger rings designed to position and tighten a loop of thin, flexible wire (the snare) around the root of the tonsil to be removed. It is intended for mechanical cutting only (i.e., not through electrical ablation). This is a reusable device.
