Good-Schweckendiek Tonsil Scissors

Description

Good-Schweckendiek Tonsil Scissors

Good-Schweckendiek tonsil scissors are long ENT scissors for tonsillectomy. Surgeons use them to open mucosa and dissect tissue around the tonsil.

A combined pattern

The double name signals a pattern that brings together features from two earlier designs. Many ENT instruments follow this naming style. The result here is a tonsil scissors with an 18 cm reach.

Reaching the tonsil

With a mouth gag in place, the tonsil still sits some distance from the lips. Therefore, the 18 cm length matters. It lets the surgeon cut at the tonsil while the hand stays clear of the view.

Steps where scissors help

First, the surgeon incises the mucosa over the anterior pillar. Then scissors help find and follow the capsule. Finally, they can trim remaining tissue once the tonsil is out.

Adding it to your tonsil tray

Most tonsil trays combine scissors, a knife, clamps and a gag. If your tray already has one scissors pattern, this one can add a second option. Contact us if you would like help with the set.

Caring for your Good-Schweckendiek tonsil scissors

Soak or rinse the blades soon after surgery so tissue does not set on them. Also open the scissors and brush the joint. Dry them completely, then sterilize them in line with your department’s steps.
