About the Bruns Curette
The Bruns curette is a bone curette made in an unusually wide range of cup sizes, from very small to large, identified by size numbers or figures. Cups are typically round, with angled oval versions also listed.
Registry entries classify it as a reusable bone curette, used to scrape and remove bone and soft tissue while sparing surrounding tissue. The graded series lets the surgeon step up or down in cup size for the cavity being worked.
Handle style varies, including solid hexagonal handles, and cup sizes and angles are not standardised between manufacturers.
