Clinical Application
This gouge is intended for controlled bone removal and contouring during orthopedic, podiatric and select trauma procedures. The 14 mm cutting width provides a moderate working surface suited for trough creation, cortical trimming, removal of localized cancellous bone and shaping bone surfaces during osteoplasty or preparation of graft beds. Its size allows efficient material removal while maintaining tactile feedback for precise surgical control.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a gouge-style cutting tip that concentrates force along a curved cutting edge to scoop or shave bone with each stroke. A 13.5 cm overall length balances reach and control for use in confined operative fields without excessive proximal bulk. The 14 mm cutting width offers a mid-range footprint—large enough to remove material efficiently yet narrow enough for localized shaping and contour work. The geometry of the gouge edge facilitates predictable bite and directional control when paired with mallet or hand-driven technique.
