Smith Peterson Bone Gouge str 9mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This straight Smith-Petersen bone gouge is intended for controlled removal and contouring of bone in orthopedic and reconstructive procedures. The 9 mm cutting width provides a moderate working profile appropriate for shaping cortical surfaces, creating troughs, fashioning autograft beds, and finishing osteotomy edges in small- to medium-sized bone work. Typical clinical settings include hand and wrist surgery, foot and ankle procedures, small-joint arthroplasty revisions, and general orthopedic bone sculpting where precise material removal is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides direct, axial access to the working surface, allowing the surgeon to apply controlled leverage and tactile feedback during gouging and shaving motions. At 20 cm overall length the instrument offers extended reach into deeper operative fields or narrow exposures while maintaining rigidity. The 9 mm blade width balances cutting efficiency with precise control for incremental bone removal rather than large-volume resection.
