9 1/4″ Capener Gouge – 16mm

The 9¼” Capener Gouge – 16mm is a high-performance orthopedic surgical instrument specifically designed for controlled bone removal, excavation, and shaping during reconstructive and trauma procedures. With its wider 16mm blade, this gouge allows surgeons to remove larger sections of bone efficiently while maintaining excellent control and precision.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Capener Gouge offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, staining, and wear caused by repeated sterilization cycles. Its strong and durable construction ensures long-lasting performance, making it suitable for demanding surgical environments where reliability is essential.

The 16mm blade provides a broad cutting surface, allowing effective scooping of cortical and cancellous bone. This makes it ideal for procedures requiring faster bone removal and larger bone contouring work. The curved gouge profile enhances access to deeper anatomical areas, enabling surgeons to work efficiently in confined or complex surgical sites.

With a 9¼-inch length, the instrument offers excellent balance between reach and control. It provides stable handling and precise force application, reducing surgeon fatigue during prolonged procedures while ensuring consistent cutting accuracy.

The Capener Gouge – 16mm is widely used in orthopedic trauma surgery, bone grafting, spinal procedures, and reconstructive operations. It is particularly effective for preparing bone beds, removing diseased bone, and shaping bone surfaces for implant placement or graft integration.

The instrument features a smooth, polished finish that reduces friction and minimizes tissue adhesion during use. This improves surgical efficiency and allows for cleaner, more controlled bone removal. Its ergonomic design ensures a secure grip and optimal handling in high-precision surgical environments.

Fully autoclavable and reusable, this gouge is designed to withstand repeated sterilization without loss of performance or structural integrity. It meets strict surgical hygiene standards, ensuring safe and reliable use in clinical settings.

The 9¼” Capener Gouge – 16mm is an essential orthopedic instrument, offering strength, precision, and durability for a wide range of bone surgery applications.
