Clinical Application
Designed for controlled sculpting and removal of cortical and cancellous bone, this curved Smith Peterson bone gouge is used to create troughs, shape bone surfaces, expand bone windows and assist with graft harvest or bone contouring. The 6 mm cutting width provides a balance between material removal and precise control, making it useful in orthopedic, trauma, spine, hand/foot and craniofacial reconstructive procedures where accurate bone shaping is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved gouge profile concentrates cutting forces at the edge and facilitates an approach that follows anatomic contours. The 20 cm overall length increases reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback at the tip, allowing the surgeon to apply measured levering or scraping motions. The 6 mm blade width is appropriate for moderate bone removal while preserving surrounding structures, and the curved geometry aids access in confined or angled anatomic sites.
