Dahmen-Lexer gouge 8 5/8" straight 25.0mm wide blade, phenolic handle

Controlled Gouge Handling for General and Orthopedic Procedures

The Dahmen-Lexer gouge is a straight surgical gouge designed for controlled removal or shaping of hard tissue where a defined cutting edge and dependable hand positioning are important. Its 8 5/8-inch length provides useful reach, while the 25.0 mm wide blade supports broad, deliberate passes during relevant General Surgery and Orthopedic workflows. The phenolic handle offers a firm, practical grasp for instrument manipulation, and the straight profile helps maintain a clear, predictable working orientation. Together, these features support organized handling when clinicians need a substantial gouge for focused preparation and contouring tasks.
