GlossaryCurettage

medical scraping of tissue using a specialized instrument

Curettage is a medical procedure that involves scraping the skin or the lining of a body cavity with a small, spoon-shaped instrument called a curette. This technique is often used to remove abnormal tissue, such as in the treatment of skin lesions or to clean out the uterus after a miscarriage. For professionals, it is a common method in dermatology and gynecology to ensure thorough removal of unwanted tissue.
