Gills Chalazion Curette

Description

Gills Chalazion Curette

The Gills Chalazion Curette is a fine ophthalmic curette designed for the surgical treatment of chalazia. Its small looped tip allows the surgeon to gently scrape and evacuate the contents of a chalazion through a small incision, while the tapered stainless steel handle provides precise, comfortable control. The Gills Chalazion Curette is available in two loop sizes, so the surgeon can match the tip to the size of the lesion being treated.

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons use the Gills Chalazion Curette during chalazion excision and curettage procedures. Its small loop lets the surgeon work through a limited incision, clearing granulomatous material from the lesion while keeping trauma to the surrounding eyelid tissue to a minimum. Having two loop sizes on hand lets the surgeon choose the tip best suited to each lesion.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the instrument immediately after use with an enzymatic instrument cleaner, then rinse thoroughly with purified water and dry completely before sterilization. Autoclave according to your facility’s standard surgical steam sterilization protocol. Inspect the loop tip before each use for any signs of bending or dulling, and store it in a protective tray to keep the fine tip from contacting other instruments.
