curette
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.
