Clinical Application
Designed for controlled gouging and sculpting of bone during orthopedic and podiatric procedures, this curved Hibbs bone gouge is used to remove cortical bone, trim osteophytes, fashion bone on grafting sites and perform osteoplasty where a broad, scooping bite is required. The 32 mm blade width provides a medium-to-large cutting surface suited to shaping larger bone surfaces while the 24 cm overall length gives reach into deeper or confined operative fields. It may be used freehand or with gentle mallet taps depending on the procedure and surgeon preference.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry permits approach along concave and convex bone surfaces, improving contact between the cutting edge and the bone to produce predictable, scooping cuts. A wider 32 mm gouge blade removes material more efficiently than narrower gouges, reducing procedure time when debriding larger areas. The 24 cm length balances reach and tactile control, allowing work in deeper wounds without sacrificing leverage.
