Orthopedic Bone Gouge Curved 6.0 mm Blade 24.1 cm (9.5)

Curved Gouge for Controlled Access and Efficient Handling

The Tanaka gouge is a 9 1/2-inch surgical gouge designed for controlled gouging and contouring tasks in general surgery and orthopedic workflows. Its curved blade profile supports access to working areas where a straight instrument may be less convenient, while the 6.0mm blade width provides a defined working surface for focused removal or shaping. The elongated format can support reach and positioning during instrument handling, helping clinicians maintain a practical working angle. Use it as part of an appropriately selected instrument set when consistent handling and access are important across varied procedural environments.

Use Cases

• Support controlled gouging or contouring tasks in orthopedic workflows where a curved blade profile is useful.
• Use for focused shaping work requiring a 6.0mm-wide working blade.
• Apply in general surgery instrument sets for tasks suited to a curved gouge.
• Use the 9 1/2-inch length when additional reach or working access is appropriate to the procedure.

Care & Reprocessing
