Hibbs gouge 9 1/4" curved 32.0mm wide blade hexagonal handle

Controlled Gouging with Defined Hand Positioning

The Hibbs gouge is a hand-held gouging instrument designed for controlled removal or shaping of bone during surgical preparation. Its curved 32 mm-wide blade supports a broad working profile, while the 9 1/4-inch length can provide useful reach into the operative field. The hexagonal handle offers defined hand positioning during controlled manipulation. In General Surgery and Orthopedic settings, this configuration can support bone-focused tasks that call for a stable grip and a clearly oriented cutting edge. Its straightforward form helps integrate gouging into established instrument workflows while allowing the operator to work with deliberate, measured strokes.

Use Cases

• Support controlled bone gouging and shaping during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with orthopedic tasks requiring removal or contouring of bone.
• Use the curved blade profile for gouging work where the working edge benefits from a shaped approach.
• Apply the extended 9 1/4-inch format when additional reach within the operative field is useful.
• Use the hexagonal handle to help maintain a defined hand position during instrument manipulation.
