The invention concerns a curettage instrument for scraping the intervertebral space and in particular the vertebral end-plates, comprising a first part (10) forming a handle and a second active part (12). The second active part (12), elongated in shape along a main axis (A), having a first end (14) linked to the first part (10) and a second free end (16), comprises at least a longitudinal portion (18) forming a cutting edge, the longitudinal portion (18) extending from the first end (14) of the second part (12) towards the second free end (16) of the second part (12) and has a median portion. The distance separating said median portion from the longitudinal portion (18) of the main axis (A) is greater than the distance separating each of the ends of the longitudinal portion (18) of the main axis (A), whereby when the second part (12) is driven in rotation against the surface of the vertebral end-plate, this causes a cavity to be formed whereof the maximum depth corresponds to said distance separating said median part from the main axis (A). |
