Sklar Merit Fox Dermal Curette, Oval
An oval profile dermal curette measuring 5-1/2 inches, available with 3, 4 and 5mm tips, used to scrape away skin lesions during dermatology procedures.
The Sklar Merit Fox Dermal Curette is a hand instrument used in dermatology to scrape away superficial skin lesions such as warts, skin tags or other benign growths during an in office procedure. The working tip has an oval profile and is offered in this listing across three diameters, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm, all on a 5-1/2 inch handle, giving the clinician a choice of scoop size to match the dimensions of the lesion being treated.
A curette of this pattern allows the practitioner to remove tissue with a controlled scraping motion rather than a cutting stroke, which many dermatologists prefer for certain superficial lesions because it can reduce bleeding and simplify the procedure compared with excision. This instrument is used routinely by dermatologists, general practitioners and plastic surgery clinics wherever minor skin lesion removal is performed as an outpatient procedure.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, it withstands repeated autoclave sterilisation between patients. It is typically stocked in dermatology procedure trays and minor surgery kits alongside other curettes and skin biopsy instruments.
