Smith-Peterson gouge 8 straight 20.0mm wide blade, hollow round handle

Controlled Bone Shaping with a Straight, Wide Gouge Profile

The Smith-Peterson gouge is an 8-inch surgical gouge designed for controlled removal and shaping of bone during procedures where a broad, straight cutting profile is useful. Its 20.0mm-wide blade supports efficient contact across the working area, while the hollow round handle provides a familiar grasp for deliberate instrument control. The 8-inch length can support access and handling within general surgery and orthopedic workflows. Use it for appropriate gouging tasks where the operator needs a defined straight blade profile and a substantial working width, while maintaining technique and handling consistent with facility protocols.

• Remove or shape bone with a straight gouge profile during appropriate general surgery procedures.
• Support orthopedic bone-preparation tasks requiring a 20.0mm-wide working blade.
• Use the 8-inch length to provide practical reach while performing controlled gouging movements.
• Apply the hollow round handle for deliberate handling during instrument positioning and use.
• Incorporate into surgical workflows that require a broad, straight gouge for focused bone work.
