Hemingway Bone Curette

## Product Overview

Hemingway Bone Curette is a bone curette listed in the Spoons and Curettes range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, pages 1460–1463. The catalog identifies the instrument under the HEMINGWAY pattern, which is the designation procurement teams and distributors use to identify this instrument family across suppliers. The source catalog is bilingual and prints the designation as Bone Curette in English and Scharfer Löffel in German, so either term can be used when matching this item against an existing inventory or tender list. This entry represents the complete catalogued family of 7 configurations rather than a single item, so the specifications below describe the full printed range. Each configuration carries its own catalog number and is quoted separately. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > Spoons and Curettes > Bone Curette.

## Design Characteristics

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: length 170 mm, angled, sharp, and length (imperial) 6 3/4″. Overall length is printed as 170 mm (6 3/4″ imperial). The working portion is printed as angled, which is the geometry the catalog specifies for this reference. The catalog prints the working edge as sharp. The catalog prints these descriptors bilingually: angled (gewinkelt), sharp/sharp (spitz/spitz), and double ended (doppelendig). Characteristics that differ across the family are set out under Configuration Options below.

## Configuration Options

The family is catalogued in 7 configurations. Configurations are distinguished by diameter. Printed diameter options are 1.4 mm, 1.6 mm, 2 mm, 2.7 mm, 3 mm, 3.7 mm, and 4 mm. Any combination not listed below is not printed in the source catalog and is therefore not offered as a catalogued configuration.

– **DO655R** — angled; sharp; length 170 mm; diameter 2.7 mm; second working-end diameter 3.2 mm
– **DO656R** — angled; sharp; length 170 mm; diameter 3.7 mm; second working-end diameter 4.8 mm
– **DO670R** — angled; sharp; ERGOPERIO; length 170 mm; diameter 1.4 mm
– **DO671R** — angled; sharp; ERGOPERIO; length 170 mm; diameter 1.6 mm
– **DO672R** — angled; sharp; ERGOPERIO; length 170 mm; diameter 2 mm
– **DO673R** — angled; sharp; ERGOPERIO; length 170 mm; diameter 3 mm
– **DO674R** — angled; sharp; ERGOPERIO; length 170 mm; diameter 4 mm

Each configuration above is a separately catalogued item and can be quoted individually or as a set. Where two configurations carry identical printed specifications, the source catalog distinguishes them by catalog number only.

## Specification Coverage

The source catalog prints overall length, working-end diameter, curvature, and edge for this listing. It does not print size code, material, working angle, shaft characteristic, and tip form; these values are omitted here rather than estimated, and can be confirmed on inquiry. This listing reproduces only what the manufacturer’s catalog states. No material, certification, performance or clinical claim is added.

## Applications

The printed instrument designation identifies this item for bone procedures. This statement rests solely on the designation printed in the source catalog. The catalog does not publish indications, clinical protocols or procedure lists, and none are implied here. Confirm suitability for any specific procedure with your clinical team and against the manufacturer’s current instructions for use.
