Orthopedic Bone Gouge Straight 20.0 mm Blade 30.0 cm (12)

Straight Gouge for Controlled Operative Shaping

The Dahmen-Lexer gouge is a straight surgical gouge designed for controlled gouging and shaping during operative work. Its 20.0 mm wide blade presents a defined working edge for tasks that benefit from consistent contact across a broader area, while the 11 3/4-inch length provides useful reach within the operative field. A phenolic handle supports a steady, deliberate grip during use and helps distinguish the instrument during setup and handling. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic workflows, this gouge offers a practical combination of working width, straight configuration, and extended length for organized instrument handling.

Use Cases

• Perform controlled gouging and shaping tasks where a straight instrument profile is appropriate.
• Use the 20.0 mm blade width for work requiring broader contact than a narrow gouge provides.
• Apply the extended 11 3/4-inch length when additional reach is useful within the operative field.
• Support general-surgery workflows requiring a dedicated gouge for operative preparation and shaping.
• Use in orthopedic workflows for controlled gouging tasks as part of instrument-based operative technique.

Care & Handling

• Clean the gouge according to facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the blade, edges, shaft, and phenolic handle before and after use for damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to protect the working edge and reduce handling injuries.
• Store the instrument securely so the blade and handle are protected from contact damage.
