Clinical Application
This curette is designed for gynecologic uterine curettage procedures including dilation and curettage (D&C), removal of retained products of conception, postpartum membrane evacuation, and targeted endometrial sampling. The 7 mm spoon/scoop working end provides a moderate surface area for controlled scraping and tissue retrieval while minimizing excessive trauma to the endometrium. The instrument is intended for use under speculum and tenaculum stabilization and may be shaped to follow a patient’s uterine axis when the malleable shaft is adjusted.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft allows the clinician to contour the instrument to the individual uterine curvature, improving access and tactile feedback during blind curettage. A 31 cm overall length provides extended reach for varied patient anatomy and procedural setups. The spoon/scoop tip geometry concentrates scraping force at the working edge to facilitate efficient tissue collection while preserving control. The slender profile aids visualization and instrument handling in constrained operative fields.
