Depth Gauge

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).

Design Advantages

• Graduated Measurement Scale: Provides precise readings in millimeters.

• Sliding Probe: Moves smoothly to measure hole depth accurately.

• Ergonomic Grip: Designed for comfort and stability during single-handed use.

• Durable German Stainless Steel: Offers corrosion resistance and long service life.

• Compact and Lightweight: Ideal for intraoperative use in tight surgical spaces.
