Smith-Peterson gouge 8" curved 32.0mm wide blade round handle

Curved Gouge for Controlled Access and Efficient Bone Work

The Smith-Peterson gouge is an 8-inch surgical gouge designed for removing or shaping bone during operative work. Its curved profile and 32.0mm-wide blade provide a broad working surface, while the round handle supports familiar manual control during focused gouging tasks. The extended length can help position the instrument within the operative field while maintaining practical hand clearance. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic workflows, this gouge supports tasks that require deliberate bone contouring, removal, or preparation. Its straightforward configuration makes it a useful addition to instrument sets where dependable handling and a defined cutting profile are important.
