Dahmen-Lexer gouge 7 straight 7.0mm wide blade, phenolic handle

Controlled Gouging for General and Orthopedic Workflows

The Dahmen-Lexer gouge is a 7-inch, straight instrument with a 7.0 mm wide blade and phenolic handle, designed for controlled gouging tasks in surgical settings. Its straight profile supports direct alignment and predictable hand positioning when working in accessible areas, while the defined blade width helps maintain a consistent working path. The phenolic handle provides a firm grasp for instrument manipulation during general surgery and orthopedic procedures. Compact overall length supports close, hands-on control without adding unnecessary reach. Use this gouge as part of a deliberate instrument setup where clear handling, focused application, and repeatable workflow are important.

Use Cases

• Perform controlled gouging tasks in general surgery where a straight, focused instrument profile is appropriate.
• Support orthopedic procedures requiring a 7 mm wide gouging blade for a defined working path.
• Use the straight configuration when direct alignment with the intended area improves handling and access.
• Incorporate the phenolic-handled gouge into instrument setups requiring steady manual control during bone-related or other gouging work.
