Design Benefits

Oval Working End

The oval curette profile provides a defined working surface for controlled scraping and scooping movements. Its shape supports contact with bone surfaces and cavities during professional curettage procedures.

Straight Shaft

The straight shaft supports direct alignment of the curette with the intended surgical area. This configuration can assist with controlled access and instrument positioning where a curved approach is not required.

Hollow Handle

The hollow handle provides a broad gripping area and helps maintain practical instrument balance during repeated controlled movements. Its exterior surface should remain clean and dry during handling.

Professional Usage Guidance

1. Select the appropriate No. 1 or No. 3 variant according to the procedure.
2. Inspect the oval working end, shaft, handle, and all instrument surfaces before use.
3. Position the working end under appropriate visualization of the surgical area.
4. Use controlled curettage or scraping movements according to the approved operative technique.
5. Avoid excessive lateral force, twisting, prying, or use outside the instrument’s intended function.
6. Clean and reprocess the curette promptly after the procedure.

Cleaning, Care and Sterilization

• Begin pre-cleaning promptly after use to prevent biological material from drying on the instrument.
• Clean the oval working end carefully using a suitable instrument-cleaning brush.
• Use a neutral-pH detergent approved for reusable stainless steel surgical instruments.
• Pay particular attention to the curette bowl, working edge, shaft transitions, and handle openings.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove detergent and loosened debris.
• Dry the instrument completely before sterilization or storage.
• Sterilize according to the healthcare facility’s validated protocol and applicable product documentation.
• Store the curette in a clean, dry instrument tray that protects its working end from contact damage.

Inspection Before Use

Before every procedure, inspect the instrument for corrosion, staining, cracks, deformation, loose components, damaged working edges, blocked handle openings, or excessive wear. Do not use the curette if its structural integrity, cleanliness, or working performance appears compromised.
