Coakley Antrum Curette 17cm Fig.3

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled curettage and tissue removal within the maxillary antrum, this instrument is used in otolaryngology and maxillofacial procedures such as open antral surgeries (e.g., Caldwell‑Luc) and adjunctive sinus procedures. The scoop-style working end is intended to remove diseased mucosa, granulation tissue, and small polypoid material, and to aid in debridement where precise, low-profile access is required.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 3 Coakley pattern features a narrow, spoon-like tip and an angulated shaft that facilitates entry and maneuvering within the antral cavity. The 17 cm length provides reach from intraoral or transantral approaches while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled scraping and scooping. The geometry of the scoop allows the working edge to conform to sinus contours for efficient tissue removal with reduced risk of collateral mucosal trauma.
