The LaForce Adenotome Small Size 1 (12mm Wide) is a specialized surgical instrument used for controlled adenoid tissue removal in otolaryngology procedures. Designed with a compact working profile, this adenotome provides the surgeon with a practical instrument option when a smaller working size is preferred.
The 12mm wide working end is designed to engage and remove adenoid tissue efficiently while maintaining controlled manual handling. Its small-size configuration makes it particularly suitable when the procedural requirements call for a narrower or more compact adenotome compared with larger models.
The LaForce adenotome features a purpose-built working mechanism that supports controlled tissue capture and removal. Its design is intended to provide consistent performance during appropriate adenoidectomy procedures while allowing the surgeon to maintain direct control of the instrument.
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated professional use when properly maintained. The smooth metal surface also supports effective cleaning, inspection, and routine instrument reprocessing.
The LaForce Adenotome Small Size 1 can be included in ENT and otolaryngology surgical sets for adenoidectomy procedures. Its defined 12mm width makes it easy to identify and select when preparing an instrument set according to patient and procedural requirements.
Proper instrument care is important for maintaining performance. After use, the adenotome should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected for proper alignment and working-end condition, and reprocessed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s validated sterilization protocol.
