Surgical curettes designed to remove tissue by scraping within the external ear and/or ear canal. These curettes are typically slender, metal, handheld, manual instruments with a serrated or blunt loop at the distal (straight, slightly curved, or angled) end. These devices are used mainly to remove tissue from the ear canal; some dedicated instruments with dull edges are used to extract difficult-to-remove ear wax from the ear canal.
