An ophthalmic curette is a handheld surgical instrument used by eye surgeons to gently scrape or remove tissue from the eye during procedures. It features a spoon-shaped, ring-like, or fenestrated tip that may be sharp or blunt and is typically made of metal for precision and durability.
As a reusable device, it is designed to be cleaned, sterilized, and used multiple times following validated reprocessing protocols. Regulatory oversight focuses on its safety and performance as a manual surgical tool, with requirements based on its intended use and material composition rather than drug or electronic components.
