Clinical Application
A straight Hibbs bone gouge with a 32 mm cutting width is used to remove and contour cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic, podiatric and trauma procedures. Typical applications include creating troughs or windows in cortical bone, trimming bone margins, shaping graft sites and harvesting chips for autograft. The broad 32 mm blade allows efficient removal of bone across larger surface areas while preserving control for fine shaping.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides a direct line of access and tactile feedback when working on exposed cortical surfaces or in confined operative fields. A 24 cm overall length offers reach for deeper exposures while maintaining leverage for manual gouging. The broad, scoop-shaped cutting edge distributes force over a wider area, improving efficiency when removing cortical plates or creating contours.
