About the Lucas Bone Curette
The Lucas curette is a small bone curette with a sharp-edged, spoon-like tip. It is supplied chiefly through dental and implant-dentistry instrument ranges, where one maker registers it as a bone curette for removing bone tissue.
Registry entries from another maker show the name applied to several forms: reusable versions classified with periodontal files and rasps, and single-use versions classified as general-purpose curettes. This means the profile of a 'Lucas curette' can vary noticeably between suppliers.
In general use the curette is drawn across bone to scrape away soft tissue or small fragments. Tip size, angle and handle style vary, so the specific design should be checked before ordering.
