Surgical Lucas Curette Serrated tip

The Surgical Lucas Curette Serrated Tip (Article# LS9-124) is a double-ended instrument constructed from high-grade stainless steel, featuring two angled working ends with flat, serrated blade surfaces designed for controlled tissue and bone engagement. The handle is fully knurled along its length, providing a non-slip grip during intraoral procedures. Each working end is offset at opposing angles, enabling access to multiple surgical sites without instrument change. The overall length measures approximately 18 cm, standard for surgical hand instruments.

The serrated blade edges on this double-ended curette grip tissue firmly without tearing, reducing procedural slippage during bone and soft tissue removal. The stainless-steel construction resists corrosion and supports full autoclave sterilization at 134°C across repeated cycles without structural compromise. The knurled handle maintains tactile control even in fluid-rich surgical environments. Its balanced weight distribution across both working ends reduces operator fatigue during extended oral surgical procedures.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons use the Surgical Lucas Curette Serrated Tip during alveolar bone curettage procedures, including post-extraction socket debridement and periapical surgery. Functioning as a precise oral surgery curette, the serrated working end is inserted into the socket or periapical lesion site, where it scrapes and removes granulation tissue, necrotic bone, and pathological debris. The opposing angled end accesses contralateral or posterior sites, making this bone curette instrument essential for thorough surgical field preparation.

Leader Surgical consistently delivers instruments that oral surgery teams rely on through demanding case loads, the stainless-steel build, opposing angled ends, and serrated blade geometry of this curette reflect a manufacturing standard that holds up equally well in single extractions and complex multi-site surgical sessions.

What is the main advantage of the serrated tip over a smooth tip?
The serrated edges feature sharp, tooth-like “micro-blades” that provide a superior grip on dense or fibrous tissue. This allows for more aggressive debridement, more efficient removal of tenacious granulation tissue, and better “scoring” of the socket walls to induce bleeding and promote faster healing.
