A hand-held manual surgical instrument with a biting action intended to be used to punch/cut/excise soft-tissue during an ear/nose/throat (ENT) procedure [e.g., adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy, sinus surgery, septoplasty, and/or biopsy]. It is a metallic instrument with a distal mechanism designed to bite tissue when the handles are squeezed together; some types may be used endoscopically (e.g., through a laryngopharyngoscope), and may include an integrated fluid suction channel for improved surgical field viewing. It is not intended for cutting bone (i.e., not a rongeur). This is a reusable device.
