A curette is a surgical instrument designed for scraping or debriding biological tissue or debris in a biopsy, excision, or cleaning procedure. In form, the curette is a small hand tool, often similar in shape to a stylus; at the tip of the curette is a small scoop, hook, or gouge. The verb ''to curette'' means "to scrape with a curette", and curettage ( or ) is treatment that involves such scraping. Some examples of medical use of a curette include: * the removal of impacted ear wax. * dilation and curettage of the uterus, a gynecologic procedure. * excision of the adenoids (adenoidectomy) by an otolaryngologist. * to scrape tartar deposits from tooth enamel with a periodontal curette. ==See also== *Ear pick 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
