Stille-type gouge 8 straight 20.0mm wide blade hexagonal handle

Straight 20 mm Gouge for Controlled General Surgical Bone Work

The Stille-type gouge is a hand-held surgical instrument used for shaping or removing bone during general surgical procedures. Its straight 8-inch profile provides a practical working length, while the 20.0 mm wide blade supports broader gouging tasks than a narrow instrument. The hexagonal handle offers a defined gripping surface that can help maintain consistent hand positioning during use. As part of the gouge family, this instrument is suited to workflows requiring direct manual application and clear access to the operative field, with its straightforward configuration supporting familiar handling and efficient instrument selection.

Use Cases

• Use for general surgical tasks involving the controlled shaping or removal of bone.
• Apply the 20.0 mm wide blade when a broader gouging surface is appropriate.
• Use the straight profile for direct access along the intended working path.
• Employ the 8-inch length where additional hand-to-working-area distance is useful.
• Use the hexagonal handle as a defined gripping surface during manual instrument handling.
