Stille Gouge

Description

Stille Gouge

The Stille gouge is a strong hollow blade for scooping bone and taking graft. It completes the Stille trio of chisel, osteotome and gouge.

Built for firm bone

The thick walls of the blade hold their curve under heavy blows. So the gouge keeps cutting a clean groove even in dense bone. Also, the steady shape gives predictable results case after case.

Width choices

It comes in 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm. Also, the narrow ones open small channels. Meanwhile, the 25 mm gouge removes larger volumes, such as cancellous graft from the pelvis.

Working with the Stille gouge

Hold the blade almost flat to peel off a shallow layer. For a deeper bite, raise the angle a little. Then clear the chip before the next stroke.

Harvesting graft with a gouge

First, open the outer cortex with an osteotome. Next, use the gouge to scoop cancellous bone in long curls. Because the curls stay intact, they pack well into the graft site.

Care after use

Bone packs hard inside a gouge, so rinse it soon. After that, brush the curve and dry it well. Keep the edges guarded in the tray.
