A neurosurgical curette is a reusable, hand-held tool designed for scraping and removing tissue from bone surfaces or cavity walls during neurosurgical operations. Clinically, it aids in procedures like kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures or craniotomies, where precise debridement is required to prepare bone or clear spaces safely.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device standards for reusable instruments. They are supplied sterile or ready for sterilization, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction—always check local regulations before use or procurement.
