88 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette
Double-ended 4.7 mm spoon curette with 50° angled 21 mm shanks for debridement of large molar and third molar extraction sockets.
Key Features:
• Double-ended instrument with mirror-image 4.7 mm spoon blades
• Concave radius cupped rim for full wall contact in large alveoli
• Terminal shanks angled at 50° with 21 mm reach
• Non-cutting spoon rim designed for controlled scraping action
• Overall length 165 mm (6.5 in) with mid-handle balance
• Handle manufactured from AISI 410 stainless steel
• Working tips and shanks in hardened AISI 440 stainless steel
• Fully autoclavable at 134°C with passivated corrosion-resistant surface
The 88 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette is a double-ended instrument carrying mirror-image spoon blades, each measuring 4.7 mm in width with a concave radius along the cupped rim. Both working ends connect to terminal shanks angled at 50 degrees with a 21 mm reach, placing the spoon face flush against large molar socket walls without handle obstruction on adjacent teeth. The round large-diameter handle is machined from AISI 410 stainless steel, while the tips and shanks use AISI 440 alloy for added hardness at the working end. Overall instrument length is 165 mm (6.5 inches), balancing consistently at mid-handle during active scooping strokes.
The 4.7 mm blade width makes this the widest spoon in the Lucas series — positioned above the #87 — covering the full diameter of standard third molar and large molar alveoli in a single stroke pass. The spoon rim carries no lateral cutting edge, so the working action remains a controlled scrape rather than a slice against socket walls. The 88 Lucas Surgical Curette tolerates autoclave sterilization at 134°C repeatedly without shank distortion or tip oxidation. The passivated stainless steel surface resists rust accumulation between sterilization cycles.
Oral surgeons and general dentists use the 88 Lucas Spoon Shape Surgical Curette after third molar and large posterior tooth extractions to debride granulation tissue, periapical cyst linings, and infectious debris from the alveolus. The lucas curette 84 through #88 series covers the full range of socket diameters, with the #88 handling the largest sites. Surgeons work each socket wall quadrant with short inward scooping strokes before graft placement or primary flap closure.
When clinicians open a tray from Leader Surgical, they already know what to expect — instruments that are dimensionally consistent, properly finished, and ready to work from the first use.
Are there different tip textures?
Yes. While most are smooth, some manufacturers offer a serrated tip version for more aggressive cutting and scraping of tough tissue.
