Sklar Nicola Pituitary Curette, Flexible, Right Cutting
A flexible pituitary curette from Sklar with a right side cutting, 6.5mm diameter tip, used by neurosurgeons to remove tissue during pituitary procedures.
5mm in diameter, used to scrape and remove tissue during procedures involving the pituitary gland. The flexible design allows the curette to be angled through a narrow surgical corridor, such as during a transsphenoidal approach, without needing a rigid straight line of access. The right side cutting edge lets the surgeon work selectively against one wall of the surgical cavity, which helps protect adjacent structures that should not be disturbed.
Measuring 8-3/4 inches overall, the curette is long enough to reach deep cranial structures from an external approach. This listing includes four variants within the Nicola pituitary curette range, giving neurosurgical teams a choice of configurations for different stages of the procedure. Instruments like this are specialised items stocked by neurosurgical units and pituitary surgery centres rather than general surgical departments.
