Stille Type Gouge | Orthopedic Bone Gouge | SAG Surgical

Description

Stille type gouges are heavy-duty, hand-held surgical instruments used to remove pieces of bone or other hard tissue during orthopedic and plastic surgery procedures . The SAG Surgical Stille type gouge is a premium instrument featuring the renowned STILLE hexagonal handle design, engineered for precise bone sculpting, bone removal, and channeling during orthopedic, neurosurgical, and spinal procedures.

The Stille type gouge is a chisel-like, one-piece manual surgical instrument that is hand-held by the operator who uses a surgical mallet or hammer to manually impart an impacting force to the proximal end of the instrument . The distal end features a convex profile with a sharp, semi-lunar, bevelled cutting edge that facilitates efficient bone and hard tissue removal . The blade profile widens as it radiates from the handle, distributing force effectively during bone work .

The Stille type gouge is available in both straight and curved blade configurations with blade widths ranging from 6mm to 30mm . The curved blade geometry follows natural bone contours, reducing stress concentration and supporting smooth osseous removal without sudden fracture . The curved shaft angle improves visualization and reduces hand strain compared to straight instruments, making it ideal for confined or angulated surgical fields . The straight blade configuration prevents curved deflection during advancement through dense bone .

The Stille type gouge features the iconic hexagonal handle that provides exceptional fingertip control and precision during delicate bone work . The 8-inch (203mm) overall length of this Stille type gouge provides optimal reach and control for deep surgical access . The instrument’s light and graceful design makes it a natural extension of the surgeon’s hand during procedures requiring extreme precision .

Stille type gouges are used across multiple medical specialties including orthopedics, neurosurgery, spine surgery, plastic surgery, and maxillofacial surgery . This Stille type gouge assists surgeons in controlled bone removal, carving, scraping, and creating holes in bone . The instrument is particularly valuable for bone contouring, cartilage shaping, and reconstructive procedures .

Stille type gouges are manufactured to the highest standards using premium medical-grade stainless steel . This ensures that every Stille type gouge instrument maintains its cutting effectiveness and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. This Stille type gouge is fully reusable, latex-free, and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium Stille type gouges that meet the demanding requirements of modern orthopedic, neurosurgical, and surgical practice. Every Stille type gouge undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
