Product Overview
Depth Gauge provides accurate intraoperative measurement of drilled screw holes across cortical and cancellous bone during internal fracture fixation and osteosynthesis. Designed with a slender probe terminating in a hooked distal tip, this surgical instrument engages the far bone cortex while an outer sleeve rests against the near bone surface or plate hole. The clearly marked graduated millimeter scale allows surgeons to verify exact hole depth before screw insertion, preventing soft tissue irritation from protruding screws or compromised bicortical purchase from undersized implants. Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the corrosion-resistant assembly withstands repeated autoclave sterilization cycles while maintaining calibration fidelity.
Key Features
• Calibrated graduated millimeter scale for precise screw length determination.
• Slender hooked probe tip for tactile far-cortex engagement.
• Smooth sliding sleeve ensuring stable bone contact during measurement.
• Surgical stainless steel construction for lasting calibration and corrosion resistance.
Uses and Applications
• Measuring bicortical and unicortical drill hole depths during fracture plating.
• Selecting appropriate bone screw lengths for small and large fragment fixation.
• Confirming depth across osteotomy sites and joint arthrodesis procedures.
Integrate these precision instruments into clinical workflows for reliable bone stabilization and controlled tissue handling.
