4. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1357-21 | Volkmann Pattern
Bone Curette
A curette has a very different job from a cutting forceps. Instead of taking large bites, it allows
the surgeon to work within a cavity, remove unwanted material, and refine the surgical bed with
repeated controlled strokes. The NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1357-21 Volkmann Pattern Bone
Curette is suited to this type of detailed bone work.
The Volkmann pattern is recognized for its spoon-shaped working ends, making it useful when
material needs to be scooped from a confined area. A double-ended arrangement also gives the
operator two working options without requiring an immediate instrument change.
What makes this configuration useful in practice?
● Different spoon sizes can accommodate changes in the size of the area being treated.
● The cupped ends allow controlled removal of loose bone, tissue, or other material from a
cavity.
● A central handle gives the surgeon direct control over the direction and depth of each
stroke.
● The slender working portions can be useful when visibility and access are limited.
During orthopedic, trauma, and reconstructive procedures, curettes may be used for preparing
bone beds, clearing cavities, or removing unwanted material before subsequent treatment.
Adding SKU 11-1357-21 to a selection of bone surgery instruments gives the surgical team another option for
controlled cavity preparation.
The stainless steel construction is appropriate for reusable surgical instrumentation and allows
the curette to be incorporated into established cleaning and sterilization workflows. Its
double-ended format can also help keep instrument exchanges to a minimum during focused
work.
Keep SKU 11-1357-21 available when controlled curettage is part of the surgical plan.
