How is the instrument handled before its first use?

This product is supplied non-sterile. It is intended to undergo standard clinical reprocessing and sterilization procedures within your facility before it is ready for its first surgical use.

Does the design help with firm handling during surgery?

What is the primary function of the curved tip?

The curved tip is specifically configured to assist in the precise access and manipulation of tissue. It is designed to aid the surgeon in scraping or removal tasks in confined areas, offering better control than a straight-tip variant.

Is this instrument a good value compared to disposables?
