Clinical Application
Designed for controlled removal and shaping of cortical bone, this gouge is used to create troughs, trim bone edges, and contour surfaces during orthopedic, trauma, hand, foot and reconstructive procedures. The 25 mm cutting width balances efficient material removal with control, making it suitable for moderate-sized cortical surfaces and graft bed preparation where a wider blade is preferred over fine chisels.
Design & Configuration
The single-ended, handheld configuration provides direct tactile feedback and precise tip control for incremental bone work. A 25 mm cutting edge offers a broad cutting footprint to accelerate shaving and trough formation while the 20 cm overall length gives reach and leverage for deeper exposures or working around soft-tissue envelopes. The geometry favors manual sculpting and can be used with controlled mallet strikes when specified by surgical technique.
