Dahmen-Lexer gouge 11 3/4" straight 7.0mm wide blade, phenolic handle

Straight Dahmen-Lexer Gouge for Controlled Surgical Bone Work

The Dahmen-Lexer gouge is a hand-held surgical instrument designed for gouging and shaping bone during general surgery and orthopedic procedures. Its straight 11 3/4-inch profile provides extended reach for working access, while the 7.0 mm wide blade supports focused removal and contouring in a defined area. The phenolic handle offers a practical gripping surface for controlled manual handling during repetitive instrument work. By combining a long straight form with a relatively narrow working width, this gouge supports deliberate technique, clear positioning, and efficient integration into procedures requiring precise bone preparation.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled gouging and shaping of bone in general surgical procedures.
• Support orthopedic bone preparation where a straight instrument profile and 7.0 mm working width are appropriate.
• Use the 11 3/4-inch length when additional reach is useful within the operative field.
• Apply the straight blade configuration to maintain a direct working approach during manual bone contouring.
• Use the phenolic handle to support secure, controlled handling during hand-instrument workflows.
