Like disposables, the Curetteblade Single Use Curette Blade does not require cleaning, sterilization or re-sharpening, however, it is designed to overcome the disadvantages of disposable curettes.
The Curetteblade Single Use Curette Blade and a reusable surgical blade handle create a heftier feel than disposable curettes, similar to that experienced when using a reusable curette.
The Curetteblade Single Use Curette Blade is available in three sizes, corresponding to the diameter of the curette, #32 (2-mm), #34 (4-mm) and #36 (6-mm).
But the curette method can cause more bleeding, because the tissue removal may not be complete or the curette may cut into the muscle tissue behind the adenoids.
When the surgeon uses a curette to "swipe" the adenoids from the back of the throat, it is difficult to control the depth of tissue removal.
The surgeon has to verify the location of the adenoids with a mirror, place the curette under the mirror, and then remove the mirror to be able to "swipe" the adenoids.

This randomized study was undertaken to compare endocervical specimens obtained using an endocervical curette to those obtained using a sleeved cytobrush.
Both endocervical curette and cytobrush sampling were performed on 62 patients undergoing cervical conization or hysterectomy.
The specificity was 100% for the endocervical curette compared to 88% for the sleeved cytobrush; (relative risk 1.13, 95% CI 1.00, 1.28).
This is done by inserting a series of metal rods of increasing diameter into the cervix until the opening is large enough to pass the curette (scraping tool) into the uterus.
Another form of dilatation is to insert a laminaria plug (a seaweed rod) into the cervix.
The curette, which looks like a tiny spoon, is inserted into the uterus and it gently scrapes away at the uterine lining.
