Clinical Application
This Novak aspirating curette is designed for gynecologic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures where controlled endometrial or endocervical tissue sampling is required. The combination of a cutting/curetting edge with an internal lumen enables simultaneous mechanical sampling and suction-assisted tissue retrieval for endometrial biopsy, office-based endometrial sampling, diagnostic curettage, and evacuation of small retained products of conception.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a narrow 4 mm diameter hollow shaft and a ring-shaped curette tip that allow the clinician to perform focused scraping while aspirating tissue through the lumen. The 23 cm overall length provides adequate reach for uterine cavity access while preserving tactile feedback. The aspirating configuration reduces the need for separate suction instruments and minimizes manual specimen handling, improving specimen capture and reducing fragmentation during collection.
