Canfield Tonsillectomy Knife – 21cm German Stainless Steel ENT Blade

Canfield Tonsil Knife 21cm: Sharp Precision for ENT Specialists

The Canfield Tonsil Knife 21cm from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for surgeons performing tonsillectomies and deep throat dissections. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this knife provides the surgical sharpness and tactile feedback required for delicate mucosal work while ensuring the surgeon’s hand remains clear of the line of sight.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Canfield knife undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and corrosion resistance. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the blade is honed to a razor edge that maintains its integrity through multiple sterilization cycles. The 21cm length is specifically chosen to manage deep-seated anatomy without compromising on control.

Surgical Applications

• Tonsillectomy: Primary sharp dissection tool for separating the tonsillar capsule from the underlying pillars.
• Peritonsillar Abscess (Quinsy): Provides the length and precision needed to safely incise and drain abscesses in the throat.
• Soft Tissue Biopsy: Useful for precise excision of small oropharyngeal lesions.

Care and Maintenance Section

To preserve the precision-honed edge, the Canfield knife should be stored in an instrument tray with protective silicone holders. It is fully autoclavable; however, it must be thoroughly dried immediately after the sterilization cycle to prevent mineral spotting. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
