Clinical Application
This concave gouge is intended for controlled removal, shaping and contouring of cortical and cancellous bone. It is commonly used during orthopedic and reconstructive procedures — including hand, foot, and maxillofacial cases — where precise scooping or removal of bone is required for osteotomy, graft preparation, or defect debridement. The 30 mm cutting width provides a moderate working surface useful for surface shaping and creation of troughs or ledges.
Design & Configuration
The scoop-shaped (gouge) cutting edge enables controlled, tactile removal of bone by a push or pull action, reducing the tendency to chatter compared with straight chisels. A 22 cm overall length affords reach and leverage while maintaining hand-level control at the surgical site. The F/handle configuration provides a secure grip for axial force transfer and fine manipulation when sculpting or harvesting bone.
