The low profile tip allows it to be passed anterior to the thecal sac without concerns of spinal cord compression compared to commonly used up-angle curettes.
The angle of the tip is optimized to allow passing the curette behind the vertebral body without levering the instrument on the thecal sac.
The optimized length of the tip allows surgeons to reach areas previously inaccessible unless a partial corpectomy was performed up to as much as ¼ height of the VB.
The cutting surface is designed to effectively decompress any sequestered disc, hypertrophied posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) or osteophytes behind the VB.
