Spinal Curettes

Spinal curettes are long, strong curettes with a sharp cup at the tip, used to remove disc material, scrape cartilaginous endplates and decorticate bone during spine surgery. The cup size, the angle of the tip and the shaft length are what separate one spinal curette from another.

This collection covers Cobb spinal curettes, Epstein curettes, Semmes spinal fusion curettes, standard straight and angled spinal curettes, Chroma-style colour-coded spinal curettes and micro cervical curettes, in sizes from 6-0 to 6 and lengths from 8" to 13".

What this collection covers

  • Cobb curettes - 11" and 28cm, straight and angled, oval cups from 000 to 6, including heavy-duty patterns.
  • Spinal curettes - 8" and 9", straight and angled, sizes 3-0 to 6.
  • Spinal fusion curettes - 9" and 11", including Semmes straight, slightly angled and fully angled patterns.
  • Epstein curettes - 8", small cups for tight spaces.
  • Chroma-style spinal curettes - colour-coded handles so the size can be picked at a glance, 10" and 13".
  • Micro cervical curettes - forward and backward angles with a cortical bone cutter.

Straight or angled?

Straight curettes work along the line of the approach - clearing the disc space directly ahead. Angled curettes reach around corners: under the lamina, into the far side of the disc space, or along an endplate that is not in the line of sight. Most spine trays carry both, in several cup sizes.

Which cup size?

Sizes run from very small (6-0, 4-0) to large (5, 6). Small cups are for cervical work, foraminal decompression and tight spaces; larger cups clear lumbar disc spaces and prepare endplates faster. Colour-coded handles make it easy to hand the right size without reading the stamp.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Cobb curette used for? Removing disc material and scraping vertebral endplates during discectomy and spinal fusion. Its long shaft reaches deep into the lumbar disc space.

What is the difference between a Cobb and an Epstein curette? The Cobb is longer (about 11") with larger oval cups for lumbar work. The Epstein is shorter (8") with small cups for tight spaces.

What do colour-coded handles mean? Each colour stands for a cup size, so the scrub nurse and surgeon can identify the size instantly on the tray.
