Bone Gouge
Bone shaping often requires controlled removal rather than simple straight cutting. NextEdge
Surgical SKU 11-1360-26 Target Pattern Bone Gouge provides a curved working surface that
allows the surgeon to remove material through deliberate gouging strokes.
The shape of the gouge is important because it influences how the instrument enters and exits
the bone. Its curved cutting profile can help channel removed material away from the immediate
working surface, giving the operator a more controlled approach during contouring and bone
preparation.
In the surgical field, the gouge can be useful for:
● Creating or refining channels within bone.
● Removing selected portions of cortical material.
● Shaping surfaces during reconstructive procedures.
● Preparing bone where a curved cutting action is more appropriate than a flat osteotome.
The instrument’s working end is supported by a solid shaft that allows force to be directed
toward the cutting edge. This makes it suitable for controlled manipulation with a mallet when
the procedure calls for impact-assisted bone removal. The operator can therefore adjust the
amount of material removed according to the surgical objective.
SKU 11-1360-26 belongs naturally with other bone surgery instruments, particularly in sets containing
osteotomes, chisels, curettes, and other bone-shaping tools.
A surgical gouge must retain proper edge geometry and structural alignment to remain
predictable in use. Regular inspection and appropriate reprocessing are therefore important
parts of instrument care.
For controlled bone contouring and channel preparation, add the Target pattern gouge to your
surgical set.
