Volkmann Bone Curette 17cm, Fig.1

Clinical Application

This Volkmann bone curette Fig. 1 is designed for controlled curettage of bone and removal of fibrous tissue, granulation, or necrotic material from exposed bony surfaces. It is commonly used in orthopedics, hand and foot surgery, trauma procedures, and ENT cases where precise scraping or shaping of cortical or cancellous bone is required. The 17 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for both superficial and moderately deep operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate work.

Design & Configuration

The Volkmann pattern features a spoon-shaped rim that concentrates manual force at the cutting edge to facilitate efficient scraping and scooping of bone and soft tissue. The Fig. 1 size offers a compact spoon profile suitable for small defects and confined anatomical spaces. The straight shaft and 17 cm length balance reach and control, allowing the surgeon to apply directional pressure with predictable tactile feedback for precise debridement and contouring.
