This gouge is designed similarly to a chisel but the blade portion features a curvature to it allowing it to be used to scoop up segments. The opposite end of this gouge has a rounded, flat end that can be used with a mallet to increase the driving force to effectively pierce through bone. This gouge is available in three sizes 6.0 mm, 12.0 mm and 18.0 mm making them well suited for larger bones in the spinal surgery and smaller ones for more delicate work on the skull.

The lack of a designed handle area increases the versatile of this instrument because it can be gripped in any way that makes the surgical maneuver the most effective. This chisel is available in six different sizes in 2.0 mm increments from 4.0 mm to 14.0 mm making it well suited for small and large tasks.

11" (28.0 cm)Cobb Osteotome is ideally suited for use in neurosurgical procedures such as craniotomies.

This instrument is available in seven sizes ranging from 6.0 mm to 32.0 mm and in either a curved or straight profile making it well suited for a number of diverse patient needs and surgeon preferences.
