This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After tonsil removal surgery, patients typically experience significant pain and bleeding because the surgical wound is left exposed. This trial is testing whether applying a thin synthetic membrane called Suprathel 250 to the wound immediately after surgery can reduce pain and help the wound heal faster. The membrane is biodegradable, meaning your body will naturally break it down over time.
Tonsil removal surgery causes severe post-operative pain and bleeding in patients. Doctors are looking for better ways to protect the surgical wound and improve recovery. This treatment has shown promise in healing burn wounds, so researchers want to see if it can help patients recover more comfortably after tonsil surgery.

If you join this study, you will have tonsil removal surgery as planned. During your surgery, you will be randomly assigned to either have the protective membrane applied to your wound or to have the wound left bare (the standard approach). You will then be monitored during your recovery period so researchers can track your pain levels, healing progress, and any complications. The study will compare how well patients heal in each group.
