Alexander Bone Gouge 6mm 18cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for controlled removal and contouring of bone in confined or precision applications. The narrow 6 mm gouge blade is useful for creating troughs, refining bone edges, harvesting small bone grafts, and removing thin cortical plates where a fine cutting profile and tactile feedback are required. Common procedural settings include orthopedic reconstructions, hand and wrist surgery, podiatry, craniofacial and maxillofacial procedures, and selected neurosurgical bone work.

Design & Configuration

The concave (gouge) cutting blade provides a scooping action that allows the surgeon to take thin, controlled cuts of bone rather than broad chips. A relatively long 18 cm overall length gives reach into deeper or narrow operative fields while maintaining manual control at the handle. The 6 mm blade width balances precision with efficient material removal—small enough for delicate contouring but wide enough to progress work without excessive passes. The hand-held gouge geometry is optimized for tactile feedback, allowing incremental shaping and palpation of bone surfaces.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Alexander gouge
