Boettcher Tonsil Scissors

Description

Boettcher Tonsil Scissors

Boettcher tonsil scissors are dissecting scissors for tonsillectomy. ENT surgeons use them to free the tonsil and cut soft tissue in the throat.

Built for the oropharynx

The throat offers a deep, narrow working space. So tonsil scissors combine long shanks with compact blades. This pattern measures 18 cm from rings to tips.

What surgeons do with it

Surgeons use these scissors to open the mucosa and follow the plane around the tonsil. In addition, they trim tissue in the tonsil bed at the end. Some teams also use them for other oropharyngeal cuts.

Size

We list one size, 18 cm. That length suits standard adult and pediatric tonsil work with a gag. For blade dimensions, get in touch and we will check the item for you.

Pattern preference

Tonsil scissors come in many named patterns, and surgeons often stick with what they trained on. Because of that, preference counts. So if your team trained with the Boettcher, this is an easy choice. Otherwise, we can compare it with our other tonsil scissors.

Caring for your Boettcher tonsil scissors

Clear blood from the blades as soon as the case ends. Then wash the scissors open, paying attention to the hinge. Dry them carefully before sterilization and check that the blades still close smoothly.
