6-1/4" (16.0 cm) US Army Pattern Gouge is a specialized instrument designed for removal of specific segments of bone. This gouge is designed similarly to a chisel but the blade portion features a curvature to it allowing it to be used to scoop up segments. The opposite end of this gouge has a rounded, flat end that can be used with a mallet to increase the driving force to effectively pierce through bone. This gouge is available in three sizes 6.0 mm, 12.0 mm and 18.0 mm making them well suited for larger bones in the spinal surgery and smaller ones for more delicate work on the skull.

Additionally it features a wide, flat handle end that can be struck with a hammer or mallet to drive the chisel shaped end with increased force. This instrument can be used to cut, scrape or shave bone to increase access to the surgical field or simply for reshaping. This osteotome is available seven sizes ranging from 6.0 mm to 32.0 mm and in either a straight or curved profile making it useful in a wide range of surgical procedures including craniotomies.
