Fox Dermal Curette - 14cm round 3mm dia

Dermatologists use the Curette to remove benign lesions such as seborrheic keratoses, warts, skin tags, and other superficial growths from the skin.

The rounded tip and precise diameter of the curette allow for controlled scraping and excision of the lesion.

The primary technique associated with this instrument is called curettage. Curettage involves gently scraping the surface of the skin lesion to remove it. The rounded tip minimizes trauma to the surrounding healthy tissue while effectively removing the targeted lesion.

In some cases, dermatologists may use a dermal curette to obtain a skin biopsy specimen for diagnostic purposes. By carefully scraping the surface of a suspicious lesion, they can collect tissue samples for examination under a microscope.

Actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition caused by sun damage, can be treated using a dermal curette. By gently scraping away the abnormal skin cells, dermatologists can help prevent the progression of actinic keratosis to skin cancer.
