Kevorkian Biopsy Curette w/o basket 1.2mm,

Clinical Application

This instrument is a small-diameter Kevorkian biopsy curette intended for endoscopic tissue sampling. It is commonly used during cystoscopy for transurethral biopsy of bladder lesions and surveillance sampling, and may be applied in other endoscopic procedures where a precision cup-type bite is required. The 1.2 mm cup provides controlled, small-volume tissue specimens suitable for histologic analysis while minimizing collateral trauma to surrounding mucosa.

Design & Configuration

The curette features a cup-shaped cutting edge designed to core or shave small fragments of tissue. The 1.2 mm profile offers a narrow, precise bite that facilitates access through tight working channels of rigid endoscopes. The "without basket" configuration means the instrument does not incorporate a retrieval basket; tissue is typically removed through irrigation, aspiration, or with a separate retrieval instrument after sampling. The slim shaft and cup geometry prioritize maneuverability and targeted sampling in confined luminal spaces.
