Clinical Application
This curved Smith-Peterson bone gouge is intended for controlled manual removal and shaping of cortical and cancellous bone. It is commonly used to create troughs, smooth osteotomy margins, harvest bone chips and contour bone surfaces in open orthopedic, trauma and spinal procedures where a broad, scooping cutting face is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry improves access to concave and anatomically contoured surfaces, allowing the surgeon to follow native bone curvature with improved visibility and leverage. The 19 mm cutting width provides a relatively broad cutting face for efficient bone removal in fewer passes, while the 20 cm overall length offers reach into deeper wounds and operative fields without excessive hand intrusion.
