Hemingway-Mod. Martin Bone Curette

Description

Hemingway-Mod. Martin Bone Curette

The Hemingway modified Martin curette blends two classic curette patterns in one 18 cm instrument. It scrapes bone cavities and lifts soft tissue with a sharp cup.

A blended design

The Hemingway curette and the modified Martin curette each have loyal users. This hybrid takes features from both. As a result, it gives a balanced reach with a practical cup size.

Length and feel

At 18 cm, the instrument is long enough for most open cavities. Yet it stays light and easy to steer. Therefore it suits both orthopedic and oral surgery trays.

Where the Hemingway modified Martin curette fits

Use it to debride cysts, clear infected bone and harvest small grafts. It also helps tidy the walls of a socket. Furthermore, many surgeons keep it next to the Hemingway figures.

Technique

Seat the cup against the far wall of the cavity. Then pull it toward you with steady pressure. Clear the cup between strokes so you can see the next pass.

Why surgeons mix patterns

Every curette pattern makes a small trade between reach, cup size and stiffness. Consequently, a hybrid like this one fills a gap between two familiar tools. Besides, many surgeons find it becomes their default.
