Bone Gouge 16mm 13.5cm

Clinical Application

This bone gouge is intended for controlled removal, shaping, and contouring of cortical and cancellous bone. The 16 mm scooping blade is sized to take moderate bites of bone when creating gutters, smoothing irregular bone surfaces, removing osteophytes, or harvesting small bone grafts. Typical use cases include orthopedic procedures (small-bone and extremity work), hand and foot surgery, select neurosurgical bone work (lamina and cranial contouring), and maxillofacial applications where a concave cutting action is required.

Design & Configuration

The concave, scooping cutting edge concentrates force across a 16 mm blade width to deliver efficient bone removal with controlled depth. A 13.5 cm overall length balances tactile feedback and reach for confined operative fields while preserving instrument maneuverability. The single-ended gouge geometry allows the surgeon to direct scooping and levering motions with precision, minimizing collateral soft-tissue engagement when used with proper technique.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Bone gouge
• Blade width: 16 mm concave scooping edge
• Overall length: 13.5 cm
• Typical use: Bone removal, contouring, gutter creation, small graft harvesting
• Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel; reusable

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longevity. The blade is ground to a cutting profile appropriate for bone work and the instrument is constructed to withstand routine cleaning, high-level disinfection, and steam sterilization cycles. The durable stainless finish supports repeated reprocessing without significant loss of cutting geometry when maintained per established instrument-care protocols.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
