Advantages
- Circular extremely sharp blade
- Ergonomic plastic handle
- Good field of operating visibility
Instructions For Use
Before curettage, a local anesthetic is generally required, with appropriate disinfection of the skin. In cases of very small, superficial lesions, it is possible to avoid the anesthetic.
- The most commonly-used method is: the curette is held between the thumb, index and middle finger, while the skin should be stretched with the fingers of the other hand.
- This method of holding enables precise guiding of the instrument, so that the piece of tissue can be removed in one well-targeted incision.
- A further commonly-used method is to hold the handle of the curette in the fold of the finger and supported by the other fingers of the curetting hand. The thumbs serve to provide stable base. This technique makes it possible to guide instrument, applying greater pressure, but accuracy is reduced a little. In view of the sharpness this technique is preferably used only in cases of hard skin.
