Partsch Bone Gouge 3mm 13.5cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for precise manual removal and shaping of cortical and cancellous bone where controlled, narrow cutting is required. The narrow 3 mm cutting width enables targeted gouging in confined anatomy such as hand and wrist procedures, small joint work, oral and maxillofacial trimming, and other situations where preservation of adjacent soft tissue and delicate bone stock is critical. It is used to create shallow gutters, refine osteotomy margins, and to clean bone surfaces prior to fixation or grafting.

Design & Configuration

The compact 13.5 cm overall length balances reach with tactile control so the surgeon can apply delicate pressure without sacrificing feedback. The gouge blade is optimized for a scooping action that removes thin slices of bone when advanced with a mallet or used by hand, allowing precise material removal and contouring. The narrow 3 mm blade supports access in tight corridors and reduces unnecessary bone loss compared with wider gouges.
