ABSTRACT:
A curette having a variably angled handle includes a curette member which has a disc shaped end. The disc shaped end has a hole through its center and a series of discrete angular graduations on its edge. The disc shaped end is retained via a pin in a recess in the proximal end of a handle. The handle includes an axial bore through which a shaft extends into selective contact with the graduations on the disc shaped end of the curette member. The curette may be angularly positioned relative to the handle if the shaft is selectively disengaged from its contact with the graduations of the disc shaped end of the curette member, but not once the shaft has engaged the graduations. The shaft may be selectively engaged by a variety of different ways, including spring biasing, threading and having a selectively extendable handle.
