Product Description
Our curettes and elevators are precision-honed to stay razor-sharp. This allows for the creation of clean, vertical cartilage edges, which is critical for the integration of repair tissue or scaffolds.
The set includes multiple angles (from straight to 45° curves), ensuring that surgeons can reach difficult areas like the posterior femoral condyles or the acetabular rim in the hip.
While the cutting edges are sharp, the backs of the instruments are smooth and polished to prevent accidental scuffing of the healthy opposing cartilage surfaces during the procedure.
Used to debride glenoid chondral flaps or to prepare the humeral head for cartilage grafting in cases of focal osteochondral defects.
Essential for the management of "carpet-bag" labral/chondral delamination, allowing for the precise removal of unstable cartilage along the acetabular rim.
The primary indication is the preparation of OCD (Osteochondritis Dissecans) lesions and focal cartilage tears in the knee. Also used for debridement in the ankle (talus) and wrist joints.

This is a set of "shaping and cleaning" tools for the smooth surface of your joints. When cartilage is torn or soft, it’s like a pothole in a road. This set gives the surgeon special tiny scrapers (curettes) and lifters (elevators) to clean out the loose, damaged cartilage and make the edges of the "pothole" clean and vertical so it can be filled and repaired.
This set is used in Cartilage Repair Surgery. If a patient has a focal "hole" in their knee cartilage, the surgeon uses these tools to scrape away the dead tissue. Once the area is clean and the bone is exposed, they can perform techniques like "Microfracture" (making small holes to start healing) or "OATS" (plugging the hole with a healthy piece of cartilage).
The main advantage is Precision. You cannot use regular surgical tools for this; you need these specific shapes to reach into the curves of the knee or hip. Because the tools are so sharp, the surgeon doesn't have to push hard, which prevents them from accidentally damaging the healthy cartilage nearby. A clean "rim" around the defect is the #1 factor in whether a cartilage repair will be successful.
Biomechanically, the goal of this set is to facilitate Subchondral Bone Exposure. By removing the calcified cartilage layer using the ring curettes, the surgeon exposes the underlying vascular bone. This allows for the migration of mesenchymal stem cells ($MSC$) from the bone marrow into the defect, which is the biological basis for fibrocartilage formation ($F$) during the healing process.
The surgeon identifies the soft, unstable cartilage through the arthroscope. Using a Ring Curette, they scrape the damaged tissue until they reach the hard, bleeding bone. They then use an Angled Elevator to create vertical walls around the defect. This "box-like" shape is the ideal geometry to hold a blood clot or a cartilage scaffold in place while it heals.
These tools are removed and sterilized after use. Because they allow for such a precise cleaning of the joint, the patient often has a Cleaner Healing Environment. By removing the loose pieces of cartilage that cause "catching" and pain, the joint feels smoother immediately, allowing the patient to progress into their recovery exercises with less irritation.
The Cartilage Removal Instrument Set is a fundamental requirement for joint preservation surgery. By providing the sharp, angled tools necessary for meticulous chondral debridement, TOOLMED ensures that surgeons can create the perfect biological environment for cartilage regeneration and long-term joint health.
Joints like the knee and hip are very curved. A straight tool cannot reach the "back" or "sides" of the joint. Different angles (15°, 30°, 45°) allow the surgeon to keep the tool flat against the bone no matter where the injury is located.
If you feel the curette "skating" over the cartilage instead of "biting" into it, it may be dull. We recommend replacing or professionally sharpening the instruments if they no longer provide a clean cut with light pressure.
Yes. The set includes extra-long curettes and elevators specifically designed to reach the deep socket of the hip joint safely without damaging the labrum.
Yes, this set is the perfect "partner" for microfracture. You use these tools to prepare the site first, and then use the microfracture awls to create the bone holes.
Yes. The set comes in a specialized sterilization tray with silicone brackets to ensure the sharp edges of the curettes do not touch each other and become dull during transport or sterilization.
