Volkmann Bone Curette 17cm, Fig.0

Clinical Application

A Volkmann bone curette with a compact Fig.0 scoop is designed for precise scraping and removal of cancellous bone, small bone fragments and fibrous tissue. It is commonly used during orthopedic procedures, hand and foot surgery, neurosurgical bone work and ENT procedures where controlled removal or shaping of bone is required. The 17 cm length provides reach into moderate-depth wounds or operative fields while preserving tactile feedback for delicate work.

Design & Configuration

The concave, spoon-shaped tip of the Volkmann pattern concentrates force at a defined cutting edge to allow controlled scooping and debridement. The straight shaft geometry offers direct access through linear exposures and small incisions; the Fig.0 scoop size is intended for fine, focused removal rather than large-volume curettage. Together, the tip profile and shaft length facilitate precise contouring of bone, harvesting small grafts of cancellous bone, and clearing localized debris without excessive bulk in the working end.
