Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 19mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This straight Smith Peterson bone gouge is designed for controlled scooping and removal of cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic procedures. Common uses include contouring bone surfaces, preparing graft beds, trimming acetabular or articular margins, small-bone work in hand and foot surgery, and other cases where precise removal of bone in a scooping motion is required. The 19 mm blade width balances surface area and precision for moderate-volume bone removal.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides a direct line of action for working on flat surfaces and shallow contours. A 20 cm overall length gives the operator sufficient reach and leverage while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled cutting. The gouge blade geometry—a concave, cutting bowl—permits effective scooping and shaving of bone with each stroke, allowing the surgeon to remove thin lamellae or discrete amounts of cancellous bone without undue gouging of adjacent structures.
