The accompanying illustration shows a sponge-holder for applying pressure at the anatomic location of the adenoids. It is shaped to conform to the normal curvatures of the mouth and the nasopharynx, thereby enabling one to apply force at the proper location. The instrument should be applied in a manner similar to that used in inserting the adenotome. It minimizes the trauma to the pillars, palate, uvula, pharynx and nasopharynx. For this reason, it has a distinct advantage over the straight and other inadequately shaped sponge-holders hitherto in use.

The instrument has been manufactured for me by Pfau's American Instrument Company of New York.
