Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 13mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled removal and contouring of cortical and cancellous bone, the Smith Peterson bone gouge is used in open orthopedic and trauma procedures where precise bone shaping is required. Common applications include preparation of bone surfaces during arthroplasty, acromioplasty, osteotomy site refinement, hand and foot surgery, and small-bone work in reconstructive procedures. The 13 mm cutting width balances efficient material removal with fine control for shaping and trimming.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry provides direct line-of-sight access and predictable cutting vectors when working on relatively flat or accessible bone surfaces. A 13 mm gouge blade delivers a moderate cutting face that is useful for both initial removal and subsequent contouring without excessive tissue disruption. The 20 cm overall length affords reach into deeper wounds and around soft-tissue barriers while maintaining a comfortable working distance for the surgeon.
