Mechanical SpoonCategory: INSTRUMENTARIUM Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery When soft, friable substances, such as a bolus of meat, become impacted in the upper esophagus, the short mechanical spoon (Fig. 30) used through the esophageal speculum is of great aid in their removal. The blade in this instrument, as the name suggests, is a spoon and is not fenestrated as is the safety-pin closer, which if used for friable substances would allow them to slip through the fenestration. A longer form for use through bronchoscopes and esophagoscopes is shown in Fig. 36. A laryngeal curette, cautery electrodes, cautery handle, and laryngeal knife are illustrated in Fig. 34. The cautery is to be used with a transformer, or a storage battery. Next: Spectacles Previous: Safety-pin Closer
