A general-purpose curette is a handheld surgical tool used to remove tissue from various body sites, including non-skin areas like joints or bone. Its design allows for scraping or excision during procedures such as biopsies, debridement, or minor surgical interventions, with a distal end shaped for precision.
These devices are typically single-use, made from stainless steel, and come in multiple shapes and sizes to suit different clinical needs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements tied to surgical instrument standards.
