Volkmann Bone Curette 17cm, Fig.000

Clinical Application

This Volkmann-style bone curette is intended for controlled scraping, debridement and sampling of bone and adjacent soft tissue in procedures where precise removal of small amounts of tissue is required. Common uses include orthopedic and trauma procedures, podiatric and hand surgery, ENT and select neurosurgical or plastic surgery applications where a compact, scoop-shaped cutting cup is needed to remove granulation tissue, loose cancellous bone, or to obtain small biopsy samples.

Design & Configuration

The spoon-shaped Volkmann tip provides a concave cutting cup that permits targeted scraping and tissue capture with tactile feedback. The rigid 17 cm shaft length provides reach into deeper surgical sites or confined cavities while preserving manual control and one-handed operability. The geometry of the curette cup concentrates force at the cutting edge for efficient removal while minimizing collateral disruption to surrounding tissues.
