Recamier Curette rigid sh 16mm, 31cm Fig.8

Clinical Application

A figure-8 Recamier curette with a rigid shaft provides a controlled scraping surface for removal of soft tissue and sampling from cavity linings. It is primarily used by gynecologists and surgeons for uterine and endometrial curettage, diagnostic sampling (biopsy), and gentle debridement of residual tissue. The 16 mm loop balances surface area for efficient tissue retrieval while allowing precise, tactile-controlled passes during blind or direct visualization procedures.

Design & Configuration

The rigid 31 cm shaft transmits tactile feedback and allows extended reach into the uterine cavity or other anatomic recesses while maintaining instrument stability. The figure-8 loop concentrates the scraping edge into a continuous, rounded perimeter that facilitates uniform removal of lining tissue with reduced snagging. The 16 mm loop diameter offers a moderate footprint suitable for routine curettage and targeted sampling without excessive disruption of adjacent tissue.
