This instrument features a handle that narrows to a slim neck and again widens again to create a funnel type blade. This gouge is prefect for scraping or scooping bone or even in creating holes in the bone itself. The curvature of the blade makes it well contoured to bone and facilitates the cutting process.

Additionally this instrument features a large, cylindrical handle with micro-serrations for added griping as well as a neck piece from which the blade extends making it firmly built. 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.
