Laryngeal knife

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to cut and dissect laryngeal tissue, including the vocal cords, during ear/nose/throat (ENT) surgery. It is typically a one-piece instrument made of high-grade stainless steel with a long, slender shaft with a handle at the proximal end and a sharp, single-edged, cutting blade at the distal end. The blade is normally small and available in various shapes (e.g., sickle, flap, straight) according to the procedure performed (e.g., excision of cysts, adhesions, webs). This is a reusable device.
