These curettes are usually plastic or metallic, straight or curved, handheld, manual instruments with sharp edges; some curettes may have one or more openings to allow the passage of aspirate by suctioning. Dedicated uterine surgical curettes are available to excise tissue from the uterine cervix, the uterus, and/or the placenta and ovum in pregnant women.
