OB/GYN 11 3/4″ Kevorkian Younge Curette Without Basket

The OB/GYN 11 3/4″ Kevorkian-Younge Curette is a specialized gynecological instrument designed for controlled curettage and tissue sampling during compatible procedures. Its extended 11 3/4-inch length provides useful reach while supporting controlled positioning within the gynecological operative field.

The instrument is specifically identified as a without basket configuration. This provides a defined curette-style working profile for applications where a basket-type collection feature is not required.

Design and Configuration

The Kevorkian-Younge Curette features an overall length of 11 3/4 inches and a working configuration without a basket. Its elongated profile supports controlled access to the operative field while maintaining practical handling characteristics.

The working end should remain properly formed and free from visible damage. Before use, inspect the curette carefully to confirm that its working surface is smooth and appropriately configured.

Working-End Characteristics

The curette-style working end is designed for controlled tissue manipulation and sampling. The absence of a basket provides a straightforward working configuration without an integrated basket collection feature.

The working end should be inspected before and after use for proper shape, surface condition, and any signs of deformation or damage.

Gynecological Applications

The Kevorkian-Younge Curette may be suitable for compatible OB/GYN applications involving:

• Controlled gynecological tissue sampling
• Curettage procedures
• Instrument-assisted tissue manipulation
• Procedures requiring an extended-length curette
• Applications where a basket-free curette configuration is appropriate

The specific clinical application should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure and established clinical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

The curette should be handled carefully and used only for its intended application. Controlled pressure should be applied according to the appropriate clinical technique.

Before use, inspect the working end, shaft, and handle for proper alignment, smoothness, and visible damage. Avoid using the instrument if the working end is bent or otherwise compromised.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the curette according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the working end and any recessed areas where biological residue may accumulate.

After cleaning, inspect the working surface for proper configuration, cleanliness, and surface integrity.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before reuse, verify that the working end remains properly formed and that the instrument is free from visible defects.
