Volkmann Bone Curette 17cm, Fig.00

Clinical Application

This Volkmann-style bone curette is intended for controlled manual removal of bone and adherent soft tissue during open and limited-access procedures. The concave, scoop-shaped working end is used for curettage of cortical and cancellous bone, debridement of cyst walls and granulation tissue, and for harvesting small amounts of bone graft. A 17 cm overall length provides reach for deeper cavities while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate work in orthopedics, hand surgery, ENT, oral/maxillofacial, and related specialties.

Design & Configuration

The Volkmann pattern features a concave, spoon-like cup that concentrates scraping force along a defined cutting edge, allowing surgeons to remove tissue with controlled, incremental strokes. The slender shaft and balanced handpiece support precise manipulation in confined operative fields. The working geometry of the scoop promotes secure engagement of bone fragments and minimizes slippage during curettage, improving procedural control compared with flat or straight scrapers.
