Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 32mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This straight Smith‑Peterson bone gouge is designed for controlled removal and shaping of cortical and cancellous bone during open orthopedic, trauma, hand, foot, and reconstructive procedures. The 32 mm cutting edge provides broad contact for efficient gouging, contouring bone surfaces, preparing bone graft beds, and trimming osteophytes where a robust, single‑bladed instrument is preferred over rasps or powered burrs.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry delivers direct, linear force transmission from the surgeon’s hand to the cutting edge, improving tactile feedback and control during manual bone sculpting. A 20 cm overall length offers moderate reach for deeper wounds or working around soft‑tissue envelopes while maintaining ergonomic control. The wide 32 mm cutting edge enables larger bites per pass for efficient material removal while preserving visual access to the work surface.
