Device typeTonsil knife: A hand-held manual surgical instrument intended for the removal of the tonsils during a surgical intervention. It is typically designed as a one-piece instrument with a sharp, single-edged, scythe-like, cutting blade at the distal end (the internal radius of the curve has the cutting edge) which is normally quite small; it has a very long and slender shaft with a handle at the proximal end. It is normally made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a reusable device.
