Alexander Bone Gouge 12mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise removal and shaping of bone, this Alexander pattern bone gouge is used to sculpt cortical and cancellous bone during orthopedic, podiatric, hand, and reconstructive procedures. Its 12 mm cutting width provides a balance between tissue removal efficiency and control, making it useful for creating troughs, smoothing bony prominences, and preparing graft beds where small to moderate volumes of bone must be removed or contoured by hand.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s hand-held gouge configuration places the cutting edge close to the surgeon’s grip for tactile feedback and fine control during manual bone work. A rigid shank transmits force directly to the 12 mm cutting edge so that the surgeon can deliver controlled strokes for shaping and removing thin layers of bone. The overall 18 cm length offers reach into confined operative fields while maintaining a comfortable working posture for the user.
