Bone Curettes

Medical Bone Curettes

Bone curettes, also known as Partsch curettes or sharp spoons, are sharp-edged, scoop-shaped surgical instruments that are used in medicine for debridement, for removing granulation tissue and for scraping out wounds. Curettes are medical instruments that are most frequently used in dental medicine and dermatology. They are also used in gynaecology, e.g., to remove tissue from the uterus when taking a biopsy or performing dilation and curettage procedures.

Use of Curettes in Dermatology and Dentistry

In dental medicine, bone curettes are sharp-edged instruments that are used to clean the alveolus after a tooth extraction, to remove cavities from the dentine via smaller bone curettes (excavators), as well as for calculus removal. An additional application for these surgical instruments is for scraping inflamed tissue during excochleation.

In dermatology, medical curettes are most often used for surgical wart removal but can also be used for taking skin scrapings of skin lesions. 

The bone curettes in this selection are available in a comprehensive range of sizes and shapes. We offer curettes with hollow handles or flat ends. In addition, the ends of the instrument can be curved, angled or straight, so that you are sure to find an instrument to suit the desired medical application. A popular surgical curette in this category is the Volkmann sharp spoon, a reusable instrument that can be disinfected and sterilised.

Especially Hygienic - Disposable Bone Curettes

At Praxisdienst, you can also purchase disposable bone curettes, which are individually sterile packed and immediately disposed of after use. The Williger Curette from Paul Hartmann is particularly popular. The sterile Hartman Peha® instrument has a ribbed handle to ensure a good grip, is double-ended, made of brushed steel and is clearly marked as a disposable instrument.

Since disposable surgical instruments do not show any signs of wear, they always have the same sharp edge and are also particularly hygienic to use. Furthermore, like with all disposable surgical instruments, the use of single-use bone curettes eliminates the risk of infectious transmissions or cross-contamination.
