Coakley Antrum Curette 17cm Fig.2

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled debridement and curettage of the maxillary antrum, this instrument is used in ENT and oral & maxillofacial procedures to remove diseased mucosa, polypoid tissue, granulation, small foreign material, or loose bony fragments. The length and working-end geometry make it suitable for access via intranasal approaches or transantral openings (e.g., during antral surgery or Caldwell–Luc procedures) where tactile feedback and targeted scraping are required.

Design & Configuration

The concave, scoop-style working end provides a broad, controlled scraping surface that distributes force across tissue for efficient curettage while preserving surrounding structures. At 17 cm overall length the instrument reaches the posterior and superior recesses of the maxillary sinus without excessive shaft bulk. The Fig.2 pattern denotes the specific Coakley curvature used to optimize access into the antrum and to improve surgeon ergonomics when performing focused debridement.
