Endometrial Biopsy Curettes — Pattern and Clinical Use
Endometrial biopsy investigates abnormal bleeding and screens for endometrial pathology. The curette is narrow enough to pass through an undilated or minimally dilated cervix, which allows the procedure to be done in the outpatient clinic rather than theatre. A sample of sufficient volume must be obtained in as few passes as possible, since each pass causes discomfort.
Sample yield depends on the cutting edge and the internal channel: the edge must shear tissue cleanly and the tissue must be retained rather than lost on withdrawal. Serrated-edge patterns improve yield in atrophic endometrium.
Endometrial Biopsy Curettes Variants and Specifications
Standard endometrial biopsy patterns.
| Variant | Specification / use |
|---|---|
| Novak pattern | Classic outpatient biopsy curette |
| Randall pattern | Alternative loop geometry |
| Kevorkian pattern | Serrated edge; improved yield |
| With suction port | Aspiration-assisted sampling |
| Narrow shaft (3–4 mm) | Passes an undilated cervix |
| Malleable shaft | Follows uterine version |
Material, Finish and Quality Control
We forge endometrial biopsy curettes from AISI 420 martensitic stainless. Cutting edges are checked for clean shearing and sample retention, since diagnostic yield depends on obtaining adequate tissue in few passes. Each batch passes Rockwell hardness testing, dimensional checks on edge shear and sample retention, and visual inspection under our ISO 13485 system before passivation and final finishing. Mirror and satin finishes are both available — satin is usually specified where glare under operating lights is a concern.
Who Sources Endometrial Biopsy Curettes From Surgical Star
Endometrial biopsy curettes sell to gynecology outpatient clinics and hospitals, and are a steady line because outpatient biopsy has largely replaced formal D&C for diagnosis.
OEM, Certification and Ordering
Every endometrial biopsy curettes can be produced as a private-label line: your logo laser-marked on the handle, your catalog numbers, and your own printed packaging, manufactured from your drawings or a reference sample. Manufactured under an ISO 13485 quality system, CE-marked to EU MDR 2017/745 and covered by US FDA establishment registration. A certificate of conformity and an ASTM F899 material certificate for the exact steel grade ship with your order.
MOQs are low and new-brand friendly, and vary with pattern, finish and branding. Pricing is direct from the factory and tiered by volume. After you approve a branded pre-production sample, bulk production typically runs four to six weeks and ships worldwide DDP with HS codes handled. See how OEM & private label works →

Frequently Asked Questions
Can endometrial biopsy be done without dilation?
Yes — that is the point of these narrow curettes. A 3–4 mm shaft passes an undilated or minimally dilated cervix, allowing outpatient sampling.
Which pattern gives the best yield?
Serrated patterns such as the Kevorkian generally improve yield, particularly in atrophic endometrium where tissue is scant.
What is a suction port for?
It allows aspiration-assisted sampling, drawing tissue into the curette channel to improve the volume obtained per pass.
Can you manufacture these under our own brand?
Yes — full OEM and private label. We laser-mark your logo and catalog numbers, pack in your branded boxes, and work from your drawings, tech pack or a reference sample, with a pre-production sample approved before any bulk run.
