Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 6mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This straight Smith Peterson bone gouge is designed for controlled removal and shaping of cortical and cancellous bone. It is commonly used in orthopedic and trauma procedures for creating gutters, preparing bone surfaces for grafting or implants, trimming bone edges, and harvesting small bone segments. The 6 mm cutting width provides a balance between precision and efficient bone removal in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The straight gouge geometry allows the cutting edge to be aligned flush with flat or mildly contoured bone surfaces, giving the surgeon direct, tactile control during scooping and planing motions. A 20 cm overall length provides reach into deeper incisions or narrow operative corridors while maintaining ergonomic control at the handle. The 6 mm blade width is suited for medium-gauge bone work where a finer chisel would be inefficient and a larger gouge would be excessive.
