Large Bone Curettes

The Large Bone Curettes are specialized orthopedic surgical instruments designed for controlled curettage, removal, and manipulation of bone or other material during compatible surgical procedures. The range provides multiple working-end configurations, allowing the appropriate curette to be selected according to the required access, working profile, and curette size.

The collection includes Angled Small, Straight Small, Angled Medium, Angled Large, and Straight Medium configurations. All listed models have a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

Design and Configuration

The curettes are available in both angled and straight working configurations. The angled models provide a defined approach to the working area, while the straight models provide a direct working orientation.

The available curette-end dimensions range from 10 × 18 mm for the small configurations to 24 × 24 mm for the large configuration.

Angled Small Curette

The 5160-01 Angled Small configuration features a 10 × 18 mm curette end, a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length, and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

Its angled working profile provides a defined orientation for controlled access and curettage.

Straight Small Curette

The 5160-02 Straight Small configuration features a 10 × 18 mm curette end, a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length, and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

The straight configuration provides a direct working orientation for compatible surgical applications.

Angled Medium Curette

The 5160-03 Angled Medium configuration features a 10 × 24 mm curette end, a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length, and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

The larger working-end dimensions provide an expanded curettage surface compared with the small configuration.

Angled Large Curette

The 5160-04 Angled Large configuration features a 24 × 24 mm curette end, a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length, and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

Its larger working end provides a broad curettage profile for compatible applications requiring greater working-surface dimensions.

Straight Medium Curette

The 5160-05 Straight Medium configuration features a 10 × 24 mm curette end, a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length, and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

Its straight configuration provides a direct working orientation combined with the medium-sized curette end.

Working-End Characteristics

The curette ends are available in three dimensional profiles: 10 × 18 mm, 10 × 24 mm, and 24 × 24 mm. These different dimensions allow the user to select a working surface appropriate to the intended surgical application.

The working end should be inspected before use to ensure that its shape, edges, and surface remain free from visible damage or deformation.

Handle and Overall Dimensions

All five configurations feature a 15" (38.1 cm) overall length and a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length. The extended overall length provides useful reach during orthopedic procedures, while the dedicated handle provides a controlled gripping area.

Surgical Applications

Large Bone Curettes are intended for compatible orthopedic surgical procedures requiring controlled curettage, removal, or manipulation of bone or other surgical material.

The appropriate curette configuration should be selected according to the surgical approach, anatomical requirements, desired working angle, and required curette-end dimensions.

Handling and Use Considerations

The curette should be handled with controlled movements appropriate to the intended surgical procedure. Avoid excessive force or use outside the instrument's intended application.

Before use, inspect the working end, shaft, and handle for visible damage, deformation, or excessive wear. The selected curette should provide the appropriate working angle and end dimensions for the intended procedure.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the curette should be cleaned and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the curette end, where bone or surgical material may remain after use. The working surface should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before subsequent processing.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before clinical use, the instrument should undergo the appropriate validated sterilization process according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols.

Inspect the curette end, shaft, and handle before each procedure. Instruments showing significant wear, deformation, or damage should be evaluated according to established facility procedures.
