A nasal biopsy curette is a sterile, hand-held instrument used to collect small samples of tissue from the inside of the nose, typically from the inferior turbinate. It is designed for gentle scraping to obtain mucosal cells for laboratory analysis, such as evaluating responses to air pollutants or monitoring drug effects in conditions like cystic fibrosis.
This device is intended for single use only and is supplied sterile. It is manually operated and typically constructed from plastic with a spoon-shaped tip and a flexible handle to allow precise, atraumatic sampling during clinical procedures.
