Tonsil punches are specialized surgical instruments used primarily in tonsillectomy procedures to excise or biopsy tissue from the tonsils or surrounding oropharyngeal area. Designed with a scissor-like handle and a sharp, circular cutting tip or jaw, they allow surgeons to precisely punch out tissue with minimal trauma. Tonsil punches provide controlled tissue removal and are often used in ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeries for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. They are typically made of stainless steel and can be straight or angled, depending on surgical needs.
