This gouge features a wide, flat stainless-steel blade that allows precise cutting and contouring of bone surfaces. The solid one-piece metal handle provides strength, balance, and a secure grip, ensuring stability during surgical procedures. Commonly employed in reconstructive and trauma surgeries, this instrument is essential for preparing bone surfaces and facilitating grafting or implant placement.
