A manual of diseases of the throat and nose : including the pharynx, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, nose and naso-pharynx . Fig. 61.—Dr. Lincolns Post-nasal Electrode (after Beverley Robinson).

Post-nasal Forceps.—For removing growths from the vault of thepharynx, and from the neighborhood of the posterior nares, Lowenbergscurved forceps and my own sliding forceps are both of service. Theformer (Fig. 62) is an instrument with long, slender curved handles andvery short blades turned upward from the rivet at an obtuse angle. Theblades are scooped out on their inner surfaces, and each ends in a sharp,somewhat overhanging edge, which comes into apposition with the cor-responding part of its fellow when the handles are closed. My colleague,Dr. Woakes,1 recommends that the cutting edges should be carried fartherround the blades than was the case in Lowenbergs earlier FIG. 62.—Dr. Lowenbergs Post-nasal Forceps. My own instrument (Fig. 63) consists of a male and a female latter is a straight cylindrical tube open on the upper aspect through-out its whole length, and ending in a sharp, spoon-shaped blade at thedistal extremity ; the male portion is composed of a solid shank playingbackward and forward in the cylindrical part of the other limb of theinstrument, and terminating in a blade of similar shape to the other,directed so that when the two are brought together the cutting edgescorrespond. The handle is fixed to the under surface of the proximal endof the female portion, the rivet being close to the body of the instrument,and the limbs placed one behind the other. The anterior one is fixed,and to the posterior, which can be moved backward and forward, is at- Trans. Intern. Med.
