Landolt-Reulen Curette Rigid

Description

Landolt-Reulen Curette Rigid

The Landolt-Reulen curette is a rigid transsphenoidal curette with a 2.5 mm tip. Surgeons use it to scrape and remove pituitary tumor tissue with firm, direct control.

Rigid for control

Malleable curettes bend to fit the anatomy. In contrast, a rigid curette keeps its shape and passes force straight to the tip. Therefore it suits firmer tissue and precise scraping along the sellar floor.

Size

We offer this curette at 25 cm long with a 2.5 mm tip. The length gives good reach through the nasal corridor. Meanwhile, the small tip lets the surgeon work in tight spaces.

Uses in the sella

Surgeons often switch between rigid and malleable tools during a pituitary case. For example, the curette might clear the central part of a tumor, and then a bent curette may reach the lateral recesses.

Completing the rigid line

The Landolt-Reulen line also includes a rigid hook, dissector and raspatory. So many teams order the set together for consistent length and feel. Ask us if you want a combined quote on those pieces.

Caring for your Landolt-Reulen curette

Clear the cup of tissue as soon as possible after use. Then brush it with a small brush and rinse the shaft. Finally, dry it and sterilize it with the other transsphenoidal tools.
