Description
La Force Adenotome
The La Force adenotome removes adenoid tissue from the back of the nose. Surgeons reach for it during adenoidectomy, often in the same session as tonsil surgery.
How an adenotome works
The surgeon places the instrument behind the soft palate against the adenoids. Then the blade closes and shaves off the tissue. As a result, the airway behind the nose opens up. The whole step takes only a moment in skilled hands.
Blade and figure options
We offer a perforated or an unperforated blade. In addition, each blade comes in figures 1, 2 and 3, which makes six options. All versions measure 25 cm.
In the adenoid tray
Adenoid trays often hold curettes, a mouth gag and a mirror. For example, the surgeon may remove the bulk with the adenotome. Then a curette tidies any remnants, while suction keeps the view clear.
Choosing a figure and blade
Figures usually step up with patient size, from small children upward. So match the figure to the patients you treat most. If you want dimensions for each figure, contact us before ordering.
Caring for your La Force adenotome
Open the instrument and rinse it right after surgery. Next, clean the blade and all moving parts with care, because tissue can lodge in small gaps. Let every part dry before sterilization.

Ordering the adenotome
If the workmanship ever fails, our three-year warranty steps in. A colleague in Atlanta handles and inspects the adenotome before it heads to you. For questions, open our FAQ hub. On materials, ASTM F899 tells buyers which steels suit surgical instruments. To tidy up afterward, add a Beckmann adenoid curette. Explore the ENT catalogue for more.
Professional use only. Adenotome photos are illustrative; our care notes say more and mention nickel in stainless steel, and the shipping page gives delivery estimates by region.
