Sklar Daniels Tonsillectome, 16mm Double Blade
A guillotine style ENT instrument with a 16mm double blade that squeezes and cuts, used by surgeons to perform tonsillectomy procedures efficiently.
The Sklar Daniels Tonsillectome is a guillotine style surgical instrument used in ear, nose and throat surgery for the removal of the tonsils. It is built around a 16mm double blade mechanism that combines a squeezing action with a cutting edge, allowing the surgeon to capture the tonsil tissue and excise it in a single controlled motion.
This design has long been favoured in ENT practice for its speed and reproducibility, particularly in paediatric tonsillectomy where operating time and blood loss are important considerations. The instrument is used by ENT surgeons in hospital operating theatres and day surgery units performing routine tonsillectomy lists.
This listing covers several available variants of the tonsillectome, letting facilities choose the configuration that fits their existing instrument sets and surgeon preference. As the double blade is a separately replaceable component, the reusable tonsillectome body is generally paired with fresh blades for each case, and hospitals equipping an ENT theatre would typically stock both the handle and matching blades together.
