A manually-operated surgical instrument used to extract used orthopaedic (bone) cement from an existing site, typically during the procedure to replace a previously cemented prosthesis.

чук

Explanation:
Инструментът за изстъргване се нарича "кюрета", като се използуват и други хирургически инструменти с "дърводелски" наименования - длета, шпатули/шпакли, циркуляри, бормашини, клещи, пирони и т.п. А чукът заедно със "м....та" си е стандартен придатък към ортопедичните операции. По всяка вероятност има и тел, но лично не съм го забелязвал. Не току-тъй на ортопедите им казват жаргонно "дърводелци" ... ;-)
