Alexander Bone Gouge 14mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled gouging and sculpting of cortical bone, this instrument is used to create troughs, remove small segments of bone, and shape bone surfaces during orthopedic, hand/foot, craniofacial, and ENT procedures. The 14 mm cutting edge provides a balance between bite and control for tasks such as exposing bone surfaces, contouring cortical rims, and preparing bone for fixation or grafting.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's hand-held, rigid shaft construction provides tactile feedback and stability for precise manual bone work. A 14 mm cutting edge offers a wider contact surface than finer gouges, which helps distribute force for controlled material removal and reduces the risk of unintended plunging. The 18 cm overall length supplies practical reach for both superficial and moderately deep exposures while maintaining maneuverability in confined operative fields.
