Sluder-Ballenger Tonsil Guillotine – Including 3 Interchangeable Blades

Sluder-Ballenger Tonsillectome: The Definitive Guillotine Excision Set

The Sluder-Ballenger Tonsillectome Complete Set from Adas Instruments is a time-tested solution for surgeons who prefer the guillotine method of tonsil removal. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this instrument is designed to isolate the tonsil within its ring and perform a clean, rapid excision, minimizing operative time and blood loss during the procedure.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Sluder-Ballenger handle and blade set undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum structural durability. The sliding mechanism is precision-milled to ensure that the blade glides smoothly within the frame, providing a consistent and sharp cut every time. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring that the three included blades seat perfectly into the main handle for absolute stability.

Surgical Applications

• Traditional Tonsillectomy: The primary method for rapid enucleation of the tonsil within its capsule.
• Hypertrophied Tonsil Removal: Particularly effective for patients with significantly enlarged tonsils where quick excision is required.
• Pediatric ENT Surgery: Often utilized in pediatric cases due to the speed of the procedure.

Care and Maintenance Section

Because the Sluder-Ballenger is a multi-part instrument, it must be disassembled before cleaning. Ensure that the tracks of the handle and the edges of the blades are free from all biological debris using a soft-bristled brush. It is fully autoclavable; however, the blades should be checked for sharpness regularly and replaced if any dulling occurs. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
