Sklar Hardy Pituitary Curette, Right Curved, 3mm
A 3mm, right curved, 9-1/2 inch Sklar Hardy pituitary curette, used by neurosurgeons to scrape and remove tissue during pituitary tumor surgery.
The Sklar Hardy Pituitary Curette is a 9-1/2 inch instrument with a 3mm right curved cup, part of the Hardy family of instruments built for trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery. The curette's cupped edge is used to scrape and remove tumor or tissue from the surgical cavity, and its right curved shape lets the surgeon work around the contours of the pituitary fossa from a specific approach direction.
This pattern is offered by Sklar across eight sizes, varying by cup diameter and curve direction, so neurosurgeons can select the exact curette needed at each stage of tumor removal as the cavity shape changes during the procedure. Curettes of this kind are used alongside other Hardy instruments, including dissectors, enucleators and spoons, as part of a complete pituitary surgery instrument set.
Neurosurgeons performing trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy and related skull base procedures rely on this full range to manage tissue removal precisely within a narrow surgical corridor.
