Sklar Merit Curette Excavator, Single Ended
A single ended curette excavator with a 1mm cupped tip, used to remove soft tissue or decayed material from a small cavity during dental work.
The Sklar Merit Curette Excavator, single ended pattern, is a hand instrument used to scoop out soft tissue, debris or decayed material from a confined space such as a dental cavity. It carries one cupped working tip measuring 1mm, and the single ended design keeps the instrument light and easy to control for operators who work with one cup size for most of a procedure.
The 5 inch length gives a comfortable reach for intraoral work while remaining short enough for precise, controlled movements. This pattern is commonly used by dentists during cavity preparation and by general practitioners for minor curettage of small superficial lesions. It is built from surgical grade stainless steel, allowing it to withstand the repeated autoclave sterilisation cycles found in dental clinics and hospital settings.
The instrument is typically stocked in dental trays alongside other excavators and curettes of differing cup sizes and patterns, giving clinicians a full range of options for cavity and wound preparation work across general dentistry.
