XPS® Powered T&A Blade Set
for Powered Intracapsular Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy (PITA™ Surgery)
Designed in conjunction with Peter Koltai, MD
XPS® Powered T&A Blade Set
The XPS Powered T&A Blade Set is designed to perform the exciting PITA™ technique. Clinical studies show that PITA offers significant advantages to most patients, including less post-operative pain, a faster recovery from surgery, and a faster return to normal activity. With interchangeable 12° and 40° outer cutting tubes, you can remove adenoids and tonsils in the traditional order. Additionally, the 40° RADenoid® blade offers better access to the choana in children over six years old.
