Partsch Bone Gouge 4mm 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled manual removal and contouring of bone, the instrument is used to evacuate small amounts of cortical and cancellous bone, create gutters or channels, and shape grafts and bone surfaces. The 4 mm cutting width provides a balance between precision and material removal rate, making it useful in orthopaedic procedures (small-bone work, graft preparation), podiatry, ENT operations and select cranial or spinal procedures where fine manual bone work is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a hand-held gouge configuration that gives the surgeon direct tactile feedback and control during bone work. The relatively narrow 4 mm cutting edge allows precise, localized gouging and contouring while the 17 cm overall length provides reach and leverage for working in deeper or less accessible fields. The working end is finished for a sharp, consistent cutting action to facilitate efficient manual bone removal with minimal chatter.
