Clinical Application
This straight bone gouge is intended for controlled removal, shaving, and contouring of cortical and cancellous bone during open procedures. It is commonly used in orthopedic, hand, maxillofacial and reconstructive cases for tasks such as trimming bone edges, preparing graft beds, shaping osteotomies, and smoothing irregular bone surfaces where a precise gouging action is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight blade geometry provides an inline cutting axis that facilitates predictable, chisel-like removal of bone when advanced by hand or guided with light mallet taps. A 15 mm cutting width balances material removal with control, allowing efficient shaping without excessive sacrifice of surrounding bone. The 25 cm overall length gives reach into deeper operative fields while keeping the cutting end visible to the surgeon. The fibre handle improves tactile feedback and manual control during delicate bone work.
