Chisels and Gouges
Free!
Chisels and gouges are precision surgical bone-cutting instruments designed for controlled shaping, contouring, and removal of bone in orthopedic, spinal, craniofacial, ENT, and dental procedures. With sharp, durable blades and ergonomic handles, they deliver reliable tactile feedback and clean cuts where powered tools may be excessive. Ideal for surgeons who require accuracy, versatility, and dependable performance in demanding operative settings.
Description
Chisels and gouges are precision surgical instruments used for controlled cutting, contouring, and shaping of bone during orthopedic, neurosurgical, spinal, maxillofacial, ENT, and reconstructive procedures. Designed to provide accuracy and tactile feedback, these instruments help surgeons remove bone in a targeted manner while preserving surrounding structures and maintaining optimal surgical visibility.
Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant, medical-grade stainless steel, chisels and gouges are engineered for durability, consistent performance, and reliable sterilization. The flat or beveled cutting edge of chisels enables straight, defined bone cuts, while the concave profile of gouges allows scooping, contouring, and precise removal of curved sections of bone. Balanced handles and carefully finished surfaces support a secure grip and smooth instrument handling during delicate or forceful work.
These instruments are available in a range of widths, cutting profiles, and blade geometries to match specific anatomical sites and surgical techniques. They are commonly used in fracture management, joint reconstruction, osteotomies, arthrodesis, spine decompression, cranial access, facial reconstruction, and dental or implant-related bone preparation.
