Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic procedures requiring mechanical curettage of the uterine lining. This instrument is commonly used during diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), removal of retained products of conception, and targeted endometrial sampling. The blunt curetting edge enables tissue collection while reducing the risk of sharp trauma; use is typically performed after appropriate cervical dilation under direct or ultrasound-assisted guidance as indicated.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft allows the operator to contour the instrument to match patient anatomy and uterine position, improving access to the uterine cavity in anteverted or retroverted uteri. A 5 mm blunt-tip curette provides a larger working surface for effective tissue removal while minimizing laceration risk compared with sharp curettes. The 31 cm overall length offers extended reach for a range of uterine sizes and body habitus, supporting confident intrauterine access during procedures.
