Spratt Bone Curette 16.5cm, Fig.0000

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal of bone and soft osseous tissue, this Spratt bone curette is used during open orthopedic procedures and other surgical specialties where precise curettage is required. Typical uses include debridement of necrotic or pathologic bone, preparation of bone graft beds, shaping of cancellous surfaces, and removal of granulation tissue adjacent to bone. The instrument is suited to procedures that demand tactile feedback and incremental tissue removal rather than large-scale cutting.

Design & Configuration

The Spratt-style spoon/oval working tip concentrates applied force at a concave cutting edge to enable efficient scraping and scooping of bone with controlled depth. The 16.5 cm overall length provides reach into wound cavities while maintaining hand control and tactile sensitivity at the tip. The cup-shaped profile allows the surgeon to harvest small amounts of cancellous material or debride irregular surfaces with predictable bite and minimal collateral damage to surrounding soft tissue.
