Cobb gouge 9 1/2" reverse curved 10.0mm wide blade, hollow hexagonal handle

Controlled Access for Bone Gouging Across Surgical Workflows

The Cobb gouge is a hand-held surgical instrument designed for gouging, shaping, and removing bone during operative work. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the reverse-curved, 10.0mm-wide blade supports controlled engagement in the intended working area. The hollow hexagonal handle offers a defined gripping surface for instrument handling and directional control. Suitable for varied workflows in General Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedic applications, this gouge helps provide a practical combination of access, blade width, and secure manipulation when a curved gouge profile is preferred.

Use Cases

• Gouging and shaping bone during orthopedic procedures where a 10.0mm blade width is appropriate.
• Supporting controlled bone work in neurosurgical workflows requiring a reverse-curved gouge profile.
• Providing a practical gouging instrument for applicable General Surgery procedures involving bone preparation or removal.
• Using the extended 9 1/2-inch instrument length to access working areas while maintaining a stable hand position.
• Handling the instrument through its hollow hexagonal handle for a defined grip during manual gouging tasks.
