Hibbs Bone Gouge Curved 16.0 mm Blade 23.5 cm (9.2)

Controlled Bone Contouring with Practical Reach and Grip

The Hibbs gouge is a curved surgical gouge designed for controlled bone contouring and removal of material during hands-on operative work. Its 9 1/4-inch length provides useful reach, while the 16.0 mm wide blade supports broader contact across the working area. The curved profile can help align the instrument with the operative field, and the hexagonal handle offers a defined hand interface for controlled manipulation. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic applications, this gouge supports deliberate instrument handling where access, positioning, and consistent control matter. Its focused design brings practical value to workflows requiring a dedicated gouging instrument.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled gouging and contouring of bone in general surgical procedures.
• Support orthopedic tasks requiring a curved gouge for shaping or removing bone material.
• Use the 9 1/4-inch length when additional reach within the operative field is useful.
• Apply the 16.0 mm wide blade where a broader gouging surface is appropriate.
• Use the hexagonal handle to support deliberate positioning and handling during instrument manipulation.
