An adenoid curette that includes a shank, a handle, and a cutting head. The shank has a pin, male threads, and a collar. The cutting head is a loop that is continuous and has a groove, a slot, and a neck. The shank is placed in the groove and in the neck, and the pin is positioned in the slot. The collar is threaded onto the male threads, captures the neck during threading, and abuts against the cutting head during threading so as to force the pin further into the slot until the collar can no longer rotate indicating that the pin is fully seated in the slot and thereby causing the cutting head to be captured between the pin and the collar and thereby interchangeably retaining the cutting head on the shank.

A surgical round knife for connecting to a suction source. The knife includes a shaft that is hollow, a round blade on one end of the shaft, and a suction interface on the other end of the shaft. The suction interface fluidly communicates with the suction source so as to provide a suction at the round blade and thereby free up a hand of a surgeon from having to hold a separate suction device and thereby allow the hand of the surgeon to hold an additional instrument. The suction interface includes a bulbous ferrule that is sealing engaged in a plastic suction tube that fluidly communicates with the suction source so as to allow the suction to extend through the shaft. The shaft extends into the round blade approximately one third to one half the round blade so as to provide the suction at the round blade.
