A curette having an insertion tube, an ejection plunger reciprocable within the tube, and a pair of elongated, flexible branches at one end of the plunger which are joined together at their outer ends and are preformed to present in the uterus a self-sustaining loop which is angularly offset from the longitudinal axis of the plunger. When the plunger is withdrawn from the expulsion end of the tube, the branches are flexed into a common plane with the plunger, and lie in side-by-side relationship within the tube. Two species of the curette provide alternate designs and locations of teeth on the branches.
