Orthopedic Bone Gouge Straight 5.0 mm Blade 17.1 cm (6.7)

Controlled Gouging with a Focused Straight Blade

The Partsch gouge is a straight, narrow-blade surgical instrument intended for controlled gouging and removal or shaping of hard tissue where a focused working edge and dependable manual handling are useful. At 6 3/4 inches long, its reach supports access while the 5.0 mm blade offers a defined working width for deliberate passes. The square handle provides a firm, orientation-conscious grip during manipulation. Its practical format suits General Surgery, Orthopedic, and Plastic Surgery workflows in which clinicians need a compact gouge for hand-directed work. The straight profile also supports a predictable approach to the operative field.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled, hand-directed gouging tasks requiring a straight working profile.
• Support orthopedic workflows involving localized shaping or removal of hard tissue.
• Use in General Surgery settings where a narrow gouge and extended 6 3/4-inch format support access.
• Support Plastic Surgery workflows requiring deliberate manipulation during hard-tissue contouring tasks.
• Use the square handle to maintain a consistent manual orientation during instrument handling.
