Piffard Lupus Curette Fig.1

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled curettage of superficial soft tissue and cutaneous lesions. It is commonly used in dermatology and minor surgical procedures for removal of hyperkeratotic tissue, granulation tissue, cyst lining, or for obtaining curettage specimens for histology. The small-profile working end supports precise, localized scraping where preservation of adjacent tissue is required.

Design & Configuration

The scoop or loop-shaped working end provides a defined scraping edge and a shallow bowl to capture tissue shavings during curettage. This geometry allows the operator to modulate depth and pressure, improving tactile feedback and control during incremental tissue removal. The Fig.1 designation identifies a specific small-profile configuration intended for fine, precise work on superficial lesions.
