Illustration from a United States patent for an ornate curette (Michelson, 1988)

A curette is a surgical instrument designed for scraping or debriding biological tissue or debris in a biopsy, excision, or cleaning procedure. In form, the curette is a small hand tool, often similar in shape to a stylus; at the tip of the curette is a small scoop, hook, or gouge. The verb to curette means to scrape with a curette.

Some examples of medical use of a curette include:

the removal of impacted ear wax.

dilation and curettage of the uterus, a gynecologic procedure.

excision of the adenoids (adenoidectomy) by an otolaryngologist.

to scrape tartar deposits from tooth enamel in periodontology.
