Tonsil Compression Forceps This instrument is a Tonsil Compression Forceps, a specialised surgical instrument designed for tonsillectomy procedures. They feature curved jaws with serrated edges and interlocking teeth, with adjustable vulcanite cushions, allowing for a secure grip on the tonsillar tissue. A ratchet mechanism on the ring handles enables the surgeon to lock the forceps at varying degrees of pressure by screwing the bulb along a metal barrel, ensuring precise control during the procedure. Each handle has a twistable component that allows the finger-ring handles to be detached from the grasping body. All components are detachable. It features a circled 'F' on one handle and a '4' on the other. 1925-1975
