Description

Curettes are surgical instruments with a spoon-shaped or looped tip used for scraping or scooping tissue from body cavities or surfaces. They come in various sizes and designs, each tailored to specific medical procedures or anatomical sites. Curettes are commonly used in gynecology for cervical biopsies, endometrial sampling, or removing abnormal tissue from the uterus. They are also used in dermatology for removing skin lesions or performing skin biopsies. Additionally, curettes are used in orthopedic surgery for scraping or debriding bone or cartilage during procedures such as arthroscopy. These versatile instruments provide precision and control in tissue removal while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures.
