Hibbs gouge 9 1/2" gooseneck 19.0mm wide blade, hollow hexagonal handle

Controlled Reach for Bone-Gouging Work

The Hibbs gouge is a hand-held instrument designed for gouging and shaping bone during procedural work. Its 9 1/2-inch gooseneck profile provides useful reach and access around the operative field, while the 19.0mm-wide blade supports efficient removal across a defined area. The hollow hexagonal handle offers a shaped gripping surface for controlled handling and instrument orientation. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic workflows, this gouge supports practical preparation, contouring, and access tasks where a broad, purpose-built blade is appropriate. Its straightforward configuration also allows the instrument to be readily identified and handled within established facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Gouging and shaping bone during general surgical procedures.
• Supporting orthopedic tasks that require a wide gouge blade for controlled bone preparation.
• Using the gooseneck profile to reach areas where additional instrument length is useful.
• Applying the hollow hexagonal handle for deliberate grip and orientation during hand instrumentation.

• Inspect the blade edge, gooseneck profile, and handle before and after use for visible damage or deformation.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect its working edge.
• Store the instrument securely with other instruments arranged to reduce contact with the blade.
