ABSTRACT:
A curette system for scrapping the endocervix in performing an endocervical curettage (ECC) procedure. The system includes a disposable curette scraper removably mounted to the end of an elongated handle. The curette scraper includes an elongated wall having a curved base end and curved tapered edges extending between the base and a tip portion. The wall and its edges are adapted to fit over the cervix up to the anatomical internal os. Serrations are formed along each tapered edge. The curette scraper is plastic and can be removed from the handle and placed in a fixative along with the tissue and mucus scrapings for pathological analysis.
