Sims Curette malleable sharp 25cm Fig.5

Clinical Application

Used primarily in gynecologic procedures that require controlled sharp scraping and tissue removal, including diagnostic endometrial sampling, sharp curettage during dilation and curettage (D&C), and removal of retained products of conception. The instrument is suitable for use in outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital operating rooms where precise tactile feedback and the ability to contour the instrument shaft are advantageous.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft allows the clinician to contour the instrument to the patient's anatomy for improved alignment with the uterine axis, facilitating access to areas that may be difficult to reach with a rigid curette. A sharp cutting edge provides efficient tissue engagement and excision with tactile control. The 25 cm length offers reach for typical adult gynecologic cases while maintaining balance for manual handling and controlled scraping.
