Sklar Alexander Mastoid Gouge
A 7 inch gouge with a curved cutting edge used to scoop bone during mastoid and other ear surgery, in multiple widths. It is stocked by hospitals and clinics performing this type of procedure.
The Sklar Alexander Mastoid Gouge is a 7 inch bone cutting instrument with a curved cutting edge, used during mastoidectomy and related otologic procedures to scoop and remove bone in a controlled, curved cutting motion rather than the flat cut produced by a chisel. This curved profile makes the gouge well suited to hollowing out bone around the mastoid air cells and following the natural curvature of the temporal bone.
This listing spans ten width variants of the gouge, ranging from 4mm to 14mm, giving the surgical team a fine graduation of sizes to match different stages of bone removal from coarse clearance to precise work near critical structures such as the facial nerve canal or sigmoid sinus. ENT and neurotology teams performing mastoid surgery typically stock a full or near-full range of gouge widths together in the same tray, since procedures commonly progress through several widths as the dissection deepens.
