Volkmann Bone Curette D/E Fig.C, 21.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled curettage of bone and removal of granulation or fibrous tissue, this Volkmann pattern instrument is used in open orthopedic, spinal, hand/foot and cranial procedures where precise scraping or shaping of bone is required. The 21.5 cm overall length provides reach into deeper or confined operative sites while preserving tactile feedback for delicate bone work. Typical uses include debridement of bony defects, preparation of graft beds, and harvesting small amounts of cancellous bone.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended (D/E) design presents two opposing curette bowls to increase intraoperative versatility without changing instruments. The Volkmann scoop geometry concentrates manual force at a defined cutting edge, allowing efficient scraping and controlled removal of bone and soft tissue while minimizing collateral damage. At 21.5 cm overall length the instrument balances reach with in-hand control, making it suitable for both superficial and moderately deep operative fields.
