Flushing Curette The flushing curette is the Rheinstadter's type, and is made of steel. It is composed of a long shaft, enabling deep access into the uterus for effective tissue removal, with knurled ergonomic handle for grip, where "SMITH & SHEPPARD DUBLIN" is engraved, and a cup-shaped tip. The tip has two longitudinal holes, which enabled tissue grasping and efficient flushing. The shaft is a hollow tube, open at both ends, allowing for the passage of fluids during flushing procedures. 1900-1949
