Sklar Merit Cornell Curette, 6-3/4 in
A Sklar Merit Cornell curette, 6-3/4 inches long, used to scrape and remove tissue or debris from a surgical site during general and gynaecological procedures.
The Cornell curette has a spoon shaped, sharp edged tip used to scrape tissue, debris or diseased material from a cavity or surgical site under controlled hand pressure rather than by cutting. This Sklar Merit version measures 6-3/4 inches, a length suited to reaching into a moderately deep cavity while remaining easy to control by hand.
Curettes of this kind are used across general surgery and gynaecological procedures wherever tissue needs to be scraped away cleanly, such as during a uterine or wound bed procedure where a defined, controlled sampling or clearing action is required. As with other curettes, the sharpness and shape of the working edge determine how effectively it removes tissue without gouging or damaging the surrounding structure.
It should be cleaned and sterilised between uses following standard surgical instrument reprocessing protocols, with the cutting edge checked periodically for sharpness.
