Description

The Read Nasal Gouge is a straight gouge used for working on bone during nasal and facial procedures. It measures 18 cm / 7″ and has a narrow, curved cutting edge at the tip. The long shaft leads into a flat handle with a textured surface, giving the surgeon a firm hold during use.

It is available in 4 mm and 6 mm widths. The 4 mm option gives a narrower cutting edge for more focused work, while the 6 mm version covers a slightly wider area. Both sizes have the same overall length and straight profile, so the choice mainly comes down to the width needed for the procedure.

In rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction, a gouge of this type can be used for cutting, removing, and shaping bone. It can be used around the nasal framework when a controlled amount of bone needs to be taken away. The curved cutting edge helps the instrument engage the bone rather than working with a flat blade.

The slim shaft and flat handle keep the design simple. The textured grip gives the hand a secure hold while the working end is positioned against the bone. At 18 cm, the instrument provides enough length for access around the nasal area without making the handle unnecessarily bulky.

The instrument is made from surgical stainless steel, chosen for the strength and durability needed in reusable surgical instruments. Every piece passes through our quality inspection process before dispatch. Our quality inspectors examine the cutting edge, shaft, handle, surface finish, and overall construction to ensure that the finished instrument meets our required standards.

For nasal bone work, the Read Nasal Gouge combines an 18 cm / 7″ length with 4 mm and 6 mm working widths. Its straight shaft, curved cutting edge, and textured flat handle make it suitable for controlled bone removal and reshaping during rhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction, and related facial procedures.
