Hibbs gouge 9 1/2" gooseneck 32.0mm wide blade, hollow hexagonal handle

Controlled Gouging for General and Orthopedic Surgical Workflows

The Hibbs gouge is a hand-held surgical instrument designed for gouging and shaping hard tissue where controlled removal is required. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the gooseneck profile supports access around the operative field. The 32.0 mm wide blade is suited to broader gouging passes, and the hollow hexagonal handle offers a defined grasping surface for instrument handling. This configuration can support tasks encountered in general surgery and orthopedic workflows, helping teams select a gouge that combines practical reach, a broad working edge, and a recognizable handle form for routine manual use.

Use Cases

• Gouging and shaping hard tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Supporting orthopedic procedures that require controlled removal or contouring of bone.
• Using the gooseneck profile to reach operative areas where a straight instrument may be less convenient.
• Applying a broad 32.0 mm blade to tasks requiring wider contact across the working area.
• Handling the instrument through its hollow hexagonal handle during manual surgical workflows.
