Hartman Tonsil Punch Forceps

Description

Hartman Tonsil Punch Forceps

Hartman tonsil punch forceps bite away tonsil tissue in small pieces. ENT surgeons use them in throat surgery when they want to remove tissue with a punch action.

How a punch forceps works

A punch forceps closes its jaws and removes the tissue between them. Therefore, the surgeon can take tissue in measured bites. This can help with tonsil remnants or small areas of tissue.

Three sizes

We offer 13 mm, 15 mm and 17 mm sizes. Our listing does not say which dimension each size describes, so please contact us to confirm. Then you can choose with confidence.

In a throat surgery set

Many tonsil sets include a punch alongside dissectors and snares. For example, the surgeon may use the punch to trim remaining tissue after the main dissection. Also, it can help in small, hard-to-reach areas.

Choosing a size

If you often treat children, then a smaller size may suit you. In contrast, larger sizes may help in adults. Many teams stock two sizes of the Hartman tonsil punch forceps.

Caring for your Hartman punch

Tissue can collect in the punch jaws. So flush and brush the jaws right after surgery. Next, dry the Hartman tonsil punch forceps completely and sterilize them.
