Depth Gauge with Sliding Stop

Depth Gauge with Sliding Stop

The Depth Gauge with Sliding Stop is a precision orthopedic measuring instrument designed to deliver reliable depth readings during surgical drilling and screw fixation. Accurate measurement of screw depth is critical in ensuring that orthopedic implants achieve the proper purchase within bone tissue, preventing hardware loosening, joint irritation, or bone perforation. Javeria Intl’s Depth Gauge provides surgeons with a dependable solution for consistent intraoperative accuracy.

Clinical Applications

The Depth Gauge with Sliding Stop is used across a wide variety of orthopedic and trauma procedures, including:

• Internal fixation of long bone fractures (tibia, femur, humerus)

• Plate and screw osteosynthesis

• Hand, wrist, and small bone surgeries

• Reconstructive orthopedic procedures

• Arthroscopic fixation and implant alignment surgeries

Its sliding stop mechanism allows precise control of the measurement process, making it particularly valuable in complex surgical settings requiring multiple screw placements of varying lengths.

Design Advantages

• Adjustable Sliding Stop: Allows precise, repeatable measurements and easy control of screw length selection.

• Laser-Calibrated Scale: Etched markings remain visible even after repeated autoclaving and cleaning cycles.

• Smooth-Sliding Shaft: Minimizes friction and ensures ease of operation.

• Ergonomic Handle: Designed for a comfortable grip, minimizing fatigue during prolonged procedures.

• Durable Satin Finish: Reduces glare under operating room lighting and enhances visibility.

• Premium German Stainless Steel: Guarantees long-lasting performance, corrosion resistance, and superior instrument balance.

Technical Specifications

Benefits in Surgery

• Delivers precise and repeatable measurements for accurate screw selection.

• Reduces risk of over- or under-penetration of screws into bone.

• Compatible with most orthopedic plating and screw systems.

• Improves intraoperative efficiency and surgical outcomes.

• Minimizes guesswork and human error during bone fixation.

Comparison with Similar Instruments

While traditional depth gauges offer basic measurement capabilities, the Depth Gauge with Sliding Stop offers superior control and adaptability. Its adjustable mechanism ensures surgeons can fine-tune each measurement, reducing margin of error and enhancing procedural safety. Compared to fixed models, this variant provides greater measurement precision, surgeon comfort, and versatility across diverse orthopedic cases.

Care & Maintenance

To maintain optimal instrument function and longevity:

• Rinse and clean immediately after use with mild detergents.

• Use an ultrasonic cleaner to remove debris from the sliding mechanism.

• Ensure the instrument is dried thoroughly before sterilization.

• Regularly inspect calibration markings and sliding stop mobility.

• Sterilize in an autoclave using approved hospital sterilization protocols.

Proper care preserves measurement accuracy and extends the instrument’s operational life.
