Sklar Army Pattern Gouge, 10mm
A 6-1/2 inch bone gouge with a curved cutting edge, available in widths from 6mm to 14mm for orthopedic bone work. It remains a routine addition to matching specialty instrument trays.
The Sklar Army Pattern Gouge is a bone cutting instrument measuring 6-1/2 inches, with a curved cutting edge used to scoop out sections of bone during orthopedic procedures such as bone grafting, osteotomy preparation and joint reconstruction. Unlike a flat chisel, the curved gouge profile allows the surgeon to remove bone in a hollowing motion that follows a curved path rather than a straight cut, which suits certain graft harvesting and shaping tasks better than a flat-edged instrument.
This listing spans five width variants of the same gouge, ranging from 6mm up to 14mm, giving the orthopedic team a range of cutting widths to match different bone volumes and procedure requirements. Like the corresponding Army Pattern Chisel, this gouge follows a widely recognised general orthopedic instrument design used across a broad range of bone procedures rather than being specific to a single technique.
Orthopedic surgery trays commonly stock several widths from this family together to cover routine bone shaping needs.
