Smith Peterson Bone Gouge cvd 13mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

A curved Smith‑Peterson bone gouge is used to remove and sculpt cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic, trauma, spine, hand/foot, and related bone procedures. The 13 mm cutting width provides a moderate bite for shaping bone surfaces, creating cortical windows, or removing bone spurs where controlled, scooping cuts are required. The 20 cm overall length offers additional reach and leverage for procedures in deeper or less accessible operative fields and for working around curved anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The curved (cvd) gouge geometry places the cutting edge on a scooped, concave profile to facilitate controlled excavation and contouring of bone. Curvature improves access to convex surfaces and internal contours while allowing the surgeon to direct forces with improved tactile feedback. A 13 mm cutting width balances material removal rate and precision, enabling efficient shaving or windowing without excessive bone loss. The longer 20 cm shaft provides working length for deeper incisions or smaller operative corridors where additional reach is beneficial.
