86 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette
Double-ended 3.0 mm spoon curette with 50° angled 20 mm shanks for controlled debridement of medium-to-large extraction sockets.
Key Features:
• Double-ended instrument with mirror-image 3.0 mm spoon blades
• Elongated radius cupped rim for effective socket wall contact
• Terminal shanks angled at 50° with 20 mm reach for deep access
• Non-cutting spoon rim designed for controlled scraping action
• Overall length 165 mm (6.5 in) with mid-handle balance
• Round knurled handle allows smooth axial rotation during use
• Manufactured from AISI 420 surgical-grade stainless steel
• Fully autoclavable at 134°C without dimensional distortion
The 86 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette is a double-ended instrument carrying mirror-image spoon blades, each 3.0 mm wide with an elongated radius ground into the cupped rim. Both working ends connect to terminal shanks angled at 50 degrees with a 20 mm reach, directing the blade face into medium-to-large extraction sockets without handle interference on adjacent teeth. The round knurled handle is machined from AISI 420 surgical-grade stainless steel, allowing free axial rotation between two fingers during directional stroke changes. Overall instrument length is 165 mm (6.5 inches), balancing at the mid-handle point for consistent downward pressure control.
The 3.0 mm blade width positions this curette directly above the #85 in the Lucas series, covering standard molar socket diameters where the narrower spoon would lose wall contact. The spoon rim scrapes rather than cuts — there is no lateral edge — making it suitable for soft tissue removal without scoring adjacent bone walls. The Lucas Curette #86 Double End Spoon Shape handle withstands repeated autoclave sterilization at 134°C without surface oxidation or dimensional change across the shank.
Oral surgeons and general dentists use the 86 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette immediately after molar extractions to debride granulation tissue, periapical cyst remnants, and infectious debris from the socket interior. Surgeons insert the spoon perpendicular to the socket wall and use short inward scooping strokes across all four quadrants before placing grafts or closing the wound. The 20 mm shank reach consistently contacts the socket base in deep alveolar sites without repositioning.
Leader Surgical produces instruments that surgical teams reach for by name — a reputation built one consistent, well-manufactured tool at a time.
How large is the “spoon” tip?
