[Experience with the one-way aspiration curette (Keradenta)]

An aspiration-curette sucking endometrium from the uterine cavity for diagnostic purposes is described. The curette is available as sterilised embaled one-way set, consisting of metal probe, tissue collecting basin, label and transportation bag. By means of this curette in 100 cases of various gynecological diagnoses aspirations from the uterine cavity were performed. The tissue was investigated histologically and compared with that gained by traditional curettage. It was found that by means of suction-curettage an exact histological diagnosis is possible. The one-way curette offers several advantages, especially an intervention without anaesthesia and under ambulant conditions. Complications are not to be expected.
