Historical Insight

The origins of Beckmann Adenoid instrument can be traced back to Gottstien (1886) who invented the Gottstein’s ring knife which was used for adenoid resection. Beckmann (1897) can be credited for modifying this ring knife to a curette and performed 5,000 cases. However the detached fragments of blood and tissue during adenoid resection would often get entangled. A solution was proposed by St Clair Thomas to modify the curette by attaching a cage to secure the fragments.
