Frequently asked questions

What type of clinical procedures is this best suited for?

This curette is part of Sklar’s Merit Physician Grade line, making it ideal for:

Routine in-office dermatology procedures.

Minor surgical excisions, such as warts or melanomas.

Are there any natural rubber latex components used?

No, the Merit Fox Dermal Curette is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for practitioners and patients with latex sensitivities.

How should I prepare this instrument before a procedure?
