Surgical snares are reusable, manually operated instruments with a handle and removable loop or wire mechanism, available in various lengths, loop sizes, and designs, intended for encircling, capturing, or removing soft tissue without penetrating the mucous membrane in natural orifices during surgical procedures. These instruments are used in ear, nose, and throat surgery for removal of polyps, tumours, and other abnormal tissue from the nasal cavity, and for enucleation procedures.
