Stille Bone Gouge 15mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal and sculpting of cortical bone, this gouge is used to create troughs, windows and smooth contours in procedures where precise bone work is required. Common applications include small- to medium-sized orthopedic procedures (hand, wrist, foot), craniotomies and cranial bone windowing in neurosurgery, mastoid and temporal bone work in ENT, and alveolar or mandibular contouring in maxillofacial surgery. The 15 mm cutting width provides a balance between effective material removal and fine control when shaping bone surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a U-shaped cutting mouth (gouge) that concentrates cutting force along a defined arc, enabling the surgeon to remove bone in a controlled scooping action rather than by linear chipping. The 20 cm overall length offers extended reach into deeper operative fields while preserving tactile feedback and control. The hand-held configuration is suitable for manual use or with light mallet taps where indicated, allowing incremental bone removal and precise contouring.

Material & Construction

Crafted from medical-grade stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion during repeated use and sterilization cycles. The blade geometry is ground and finished to provide a reliable cutting edge while the shaft length and balance are optimized for controlled hand manipulation. The instrument is intended for repeated use and is compatible with standard hospital sterilization processes, including steam autoclaving.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
