Clinical Application
Designed for precise bone removal and contouring, this curved gouge is used to undercut, shape and remove cortical and cancellous bone in orthopedic and trauma procedures. The 16 mm cutting width is suited for moderate-sized surfaces and defects where controlled scooping or shaving is required—for example, during joint reconstruction, osteoplasty, work around bony prominences, and other procedures that require predictable, layered bone removal.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry provides improved access around convex and irregular surfaces, allowing the cutting edge to engage bone at an optimal angle while maintaining visualization of the working tip. The 20 cm overall length offers reach into deeper wounds while preserving tactile feedback for controlled manual gouging. The 16 mm blade width balances surface contact with the ability to perform focused contouring on moderate-sized areas.
