Designed for procedures that involve bone chipping or scraping. Manufactured by Aesculap (B. Braun), the Lexer Gouge is ideal for carving and scooping out softer bone tissue for grafting and biopsy purposes. The flat, shovel-shaped tip easily digs into the harvested tissue, and the fabric-reinforced phenolic resin handle is designed for a secure comfortable grip while minimizing fatigue from use. This instrument is provided non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.
