Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 16mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Used to remove, shape and contour bone in a range of orthopedic procedures where controlled gouging or shallow cutting is required. Common applications include preparation of bone surfaces for grafting, removal of osteophytes, creation of troughs or windows in cortical bone, and refining bone contours during reconstructive, trauma and small-bone surgery. The 16 mm cutting width allows efficient material removal while maintaining control in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The straight gouge geometry provides a linear cutting action that gives the operator direct tactile feedback for precise depth control. A 16 mm-wide cutting face balances bite and preservation of surrounding bone, while the 20 cm overall length provides reach into deeper exposures without compromising handling. The scoop-shaped gouge tip permits shearing and controlled shaving motions useful when contouring both cortical and cancellous surfaces.
