What does CURET mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A surgical instrument shaped like a small spoon or scoop, used to scrape tissue or debris from the wall of a body cavity.
A surgeon or dentist uses a curet to remove unwanted tissue, debris, or growths by gently scraping the inner surface of a cavity, a procedure that shares its name with the instrument itself. The word is simply a variant spelling of curette, and both forms describe the same small, scoop-ended tool found in dental, gynecological, and other minor surgical procedures. Its curved or spoon-shaped tip allows precise control in a small space where a larger instrument would not fit.
