What the AI looks for in Surgical Curettes
- Loop size
- Small loops (about 2 to 4 mm) for small lesions and margins. Larger loops for bulk debulking. A loop that is too large removes healthy tissue and blurs the margin.
- Sharpness
- Sterile single-use for guaranteed edge, or reusable with a resharpening plan. A dull curette tears rather than scrapes cleanly.
- Shape
- Round or oval dermal loops for skin. Spoon or loop ear curettes for cerumen. Ear and skin curettes are not interchangeable.
Brands that matter
- Kai Medical: Disposable dermal curettes.
- Integra Miltex: Disposable and reusable curettes.
- Bionix: Plastic ear curettes.
What to avoid
- Metal ear curettes used blind at home.
- Reused disposable curettes.
