Stille Bone Gouge 10mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Bone gouges are hand instruments used to remove, shape, or thin cortical bone in a controlled scooping motion. This size (10 mm cutting width with a 20 cm shaft) is suited to procedures where a moderate-width bite is needed—examples include small-bone reconstruction, graft bed preparation, trimming bone edges in hand and wrist surgery, and selective cortical bone removal in trauma and reconstructive cases. The gouge can be used under direct vision for precise bone sculpting and is commonly used with manual pressure or light mallet taps depending on surgical technique.

Design & Configuration

The beveled cutting edge provides a defined scooping profile for predictable removal of bone chips, while the 10 mm blade offers a balance between material removal and control. A 20 cm shaft gives reach into deeper wounds or confined operative fields without sacrificing tactile feedback at the cutting edge. The rigid shaft geometry transmits force efficiently from the handle to the blade, enabling controlled, repeatable strokes for shaping or enlarging cortical windows and graft sites.
