ABSTRACT:
An improved curette is disclosed having a spoon-shaped scoop attached to an elongated tapered handle. Substantially the entire periphery of the scoop is sharpened, allowing the curette to be used in a lateral or rotating motion to remove and collect tissue samples. The new curette also has a sharpened interior edge on its forward end allowing curetting when drawing the instrument backward. Small drainage holes through the bottom of the scoop allow the curette to efficiently capture more tissue.
