25mm Wide Gouge Blade

The 25mm working blade provides a broad cutting surface for procedures requiring removal or modification of a relatively wider area of bone.

Unlike a conventional flat bone chisel or osteotome, a surgical gouge incorporates a concave cutting profile. This configuration allows the working end to engage bone in a curved or scooping manner and can be used to create channels, grooves, or contoured bone surfaces according to the surgical technique.

Straight Stille Pattern

The straight instrument profile provides a direct working axis between the handle and cutting end. This helps the operating professional maintain awareness of blade position and control the direction of force during bone preparation.

The 20cm / 8-inch overall length provides useful reach while retaining practical handling for orthopedic bone-working procedures.

Surgical Applications

The Stille 25mm Bone Gouge is intended for use by trained and qualified healthcare professionals during procedures requiring controlled cutting or modification of bone.

Potential professional applications include:

• Controlled bone removal
• Bone shaping and contouring
• Bone surface preparation
• Creating channels or grooves in bone
• Removal of sections of bone
• Orthopedic surgical procedures
• Trauma surgery
• Reconstructive orthopedic procedures
• Corrective bone procedures
• Mallet-assisted bone work when clinically appropriate

The appropriate blade width, technique, and degree of applied force should always be determined by the operating healthcare professional.

Gouge vs. Bone Chisel

A bone gouge differs from a conventional surgical chisel primarily in the shape of its working end.

The concave 25mm gouge blade is designed for scooping, channeling, and controlled removal of bone, whereas a flat chisel generally provides a flatter cutting profile.

This makes the Stille Gouge suitable for procedures where a curved or recessed bone surface needs to be created or modified.

Handling & Mallet Use

The solid handle supports controlled manual manipulation and can transmit measured impact when the surgical technique requires use with a compatible surgical mallet.

Impact should always be controlled and appropriate for the procedure. The cutting edge and handle should be inspected before use for signs of damage, deformation, excessive wear, or other defects.
