The Mini Lexer Gouges are orthopedic surgical instruments available in three gouge-width configurations: 4 mm, 6 mm, and 10 mm. Each size features a consistent 7" (17.8 cm) overall length, while the gouge width varies to provide different working-end dimensions.

This range allows selection of an appropriate gouge width while maintaining the same overall instrument length across all configurations.

Available Configurations

4 mm Mini Lexer Gouge

The 4 mm configuration features a 4 mm gouge width and a 7" (17.8 cm) overall length, providing the narrowest working-end option in the range.

6 mm Mini Lexer Gouge

The 6 mm configuration features a 6 mm gouge width with the same 7" (17.8 cm) overall length, providing an intermediate working-end size.

10 mm Mini Lexer Gouge

The 10 mm configuration features a 10 mm gouge width and a 7" (17.8 cm) overall length, providing the widest working-end option in this range.

Design and Configuration

All three Mini Lexer Gouges share the same overall length while differing in gouge width:

• 4 mm: 7" (17.8 cm) overall length
• 6 mm: 7" (17.8 cm) overall length
• 10 mm: 7" (17.8 cm) overall length

Orthopedic Applications

The Mini Lexer Gouges are designed for compatible orthopedic and bone-preparation applications where a gouge with the specified working width is appropriate.

Handling and Use Considerations

Select the gouge size according to the requirements of the intended procedure and applicable surgical technique. The instrument should be handled by appropriately trained healthcare professionals in accordance with relevant instrument instructions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the gouge according to validated instrument-processing procedures. Inspect the working end for retained material, deformation, wear, or other damage before subsequent processing or use.

Sterilization and Inspection

Inspect each instrument for cleanliness and structural integrity before use. Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and applicable healthcare facility protocols.
