• 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.
