• Tonsillotome — A specialized surgical instrument used in otorhinolaryngology to perform a tonsillotomy, structurally consisting of a metallic handle equipped with a cutting loop or a guillotine-like mechanism (such as the Sluder-Ballenger model). This precision device allows the grasping, sectioning, or partial or total excision of hypertrophied tonsillar tissue, ensuring a rapid cut to minimize operative bleeding time.
• Knobbed — Equipped or fitted with a handle, an ear, or a structural catching element called a 'nucă' (nut/knob); traditionally refers to an instrument, a scepter, or a household object provided with a spherical protuberance at the end to ease manipulation.
