West lacrimal sac gouge 6 3/8" straight, concave 5.0mm wide blade square handle

Focused Access with a Defined Gouge Profile

The West lacrimal sac gouge is a straight surgical gouge intended for focused gouging work around the lacrimal sac, giving ENT and general surgery teams a purpose-named instrument for controlled access and material removal in a compact, familiar format. Its 6 3/8-inch length supports practical reach, while the concave 5.0 mm blade presents a defined working surface for directed contact. The square handle offers a clear hand interface for instrument positioning and control during procedure-specific use. As part of a gouge set, it can support organized workflows where a straight profile and 5 mm width match the task at hand.

Use Cases

• Support ENT workflows involving lacrimal sac access and focused gouging tasks.
• Use in general surgery settings when a purpose-named lacrimal sac gouge is appropriate to the procedure.
• Apply the concave 5.0 mm blade to directed gouging work requiring a defined working surface.
• Use the straight profile and 6 3/8-inch length where direct instrument alignment and practical reach are needed.
