Schnidt-Sawtell Tonsil Hemostatic Forceps

Description

Schnidt-Sawtell Tonsil Hemostatic Forceps

Schnidt-Sawtell tonsil forceps are hemostatic forceps for tonsillectomy. ENT surgeons clamp vessels in the tonsil fossa with them and also grasp tissue as they dissect.

A tonsil clamp

The Schnidt name has long been associated with tonsil clamps. This combined pattern follows that tradition. So it gives the surgeon a clamp that reaches into the throat while the hand stays outside the mouth.

Dimensions on request

Our listing gives no length for this clamp. Therefore, ask us for exact dimensions before ordering. We will confirm them rather than guess.

During tonsillectomy

After the surgeon removes the tonsil, small vessels may bleed in the fossa. Then the forceps clamp each bleeding point. The surgeon controls it by tying, cautery or another method.

Choosing a tonsil clamp

Different surgeons prefer different clamp patterns. For instance, some like a longer shaft, while others prefer a lighter feel. If you are comparing patterns, we can send details on the tonsil clamps we carry.

Caring for your Schnidt-Sawtell tonsil forceps

After surgery, flush the clamp promptly so blood cannot set in the box joint. Also brush the jaw faces carefully. Then dry the forceps and sterilize them unlocked.
