The Depth Gauge is an essential orthopedic instrument used to measure the depth of drilled bone holes during fixation procedures. This ensures accurate screw selection, leading to optimal bone healing and implant stability. The instrument plays a critical role in trauma, reconstructive, and orthopedic surgeries, where precision is paramount.
Clinical Applications
The Depth Gauge is widely used in:
-
Orthopedic fixation surgeries for plates, screws, and implants
-
Trauma and fracture repair procedures
-
Spinal instrumentation and reconstruction
-
Maxillofacial and cranial surgeries
Its precision ensures that screws are neither too short (causing weak fixation) nor too long (risking tissue damage).
