Surgical instrument for performing electrosurgical procedures

A curettage tool adapted to couple with an electrosurgical instrument comprising a body, an electrode blade, and a shaft that connects the electrode blade to the body, the curettage tool comprising:

• an attachment member, the attachment member being adapted to releasably attach the curettage tool to the body, to the shaft, or to the electrode blade;
• a horizontal section extending outwardly from the attachment member;
• two divergent arms extending outwardly from the horizontal section;
• a tip portion connected to a distal end of each divergent arm, each tip portion having a loop configuration and a bottom scraping surface;
• wherein a plane defined by the bottom scraping surfaces is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the electrode blade when the curettage tool is attached to the body, to the shaft, or to the electrode blade.

A curettage tool adapted to couple with an electrosurgical instrument comprising a body, an electrode blade, and a shaft that connects the electrode blade to the body, the curettage tool comprising:

• an attachment member, the attachment member being adapted to attach the curettage tool to the body, to the shaft, or to the electrode blade;
• an elongated horizontal member projecting outwardly from the attachment member;
• a divergent arm extending outwardly from the elongated horizontal section;
• a tip portion connected to a distal end the divergent arm, the tip portion comprising a curette;
• wherein the longitudinal axis of the divergent arm intersects the longitudinal axis of the electrode blade at an angle of about 45° to the body, to the shaft, or to the electrode blade when the curettage tool is attached to the body, to the shaft or to the electrode blade.
