Commonly used by OB/GYN specialists, gynecologic surgeons, and women’s healthcare professionals, this instrument features a blunt #4 curette and a malleable shaft, allowing clinicians to adapt the instrument to individual uterine anatomy while minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma.
With an overall length of 11 inches, the Thomas uterine curette provides excellent reach and maneuverability for accessing the uterine cavity. The #4 blunt curette is designed for gentle endometrial tissue management, making it suitable for procedures where careful tissue handling and controlled curettage are essential. Its rounded working end allows clinicians to perform uterine exploration and tissue collection with excellent tactile feedback and precision.
A defining feature of the OB/GYN 11″ Thomas Uterine Curette Blunt Malleable #4 is its flexible, malleable shaft.

The blunt curette design supports controlled tissue management and is particularly useful when minimizing tissue trauma is a priority.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, staining, and repeated sterilization. Its seamless one-piece construction ensures long-lasting durability while maintaining precise performance throughout years of clinical use. The satin-polished finish reduces glare under surgical lighting, promotes smooth tissue contact, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
The ergonomic handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that allows clinicians to maintain precise control throughout delicate procedures. Its balanced design reduces hand fatigue while improving maneuverability during extended uterine examinations and surgical interventions.
