Orthopedic Depth Gauge

Description

The Orthopedic Depth Gauge is a precision measuring instrument designed to determine the depth of drilled bone holes during orthopaedic and trauma procedures. Accurate measurement helps surgeons select the appropriate screw length before implant insertion.

Salwan Surgicare is a surgical instrument manufacturer supplying orthopaedic instruments to hospitals, distributors, procurement companies, healthcare organisations, and OEM partners worldwide.

The instrument features a graduated measuring scale with a slender probe and a movable measuring sleeve. Once the probe engages the far cortex, the scale provides a direct reading of the drilled hole depth.

Orthopedic Depth Gauges are commonly used during fracture fixation, reconstructive surgery, and other procedures involving bone plates, screws, and fixation systems. Different measuring ranges may be available according to the selected instrument.

Orthopedic Depth Gauge Uses

The Orthopedic Depth Gauge is used after a pilot hole has been drilled into the bone. The probe is inserted through the drilled hole until it engages the far cortex, allowing the surgeon to measure the depth accurately.

The measured value assists in selecting a suitable screw length before implantation. Accurate measurement helps support stable fixation while reducing the likelihood of using an unsuitable screw length.

The instrument is commonly used during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), trauma surgery, hand surgery, foot and ankle procedures, and other orthopaedic operations involving bone screws.

Benefits of the Orthopedic Depth Gauge

The graduated scale provides clear and accurate depth measurements during bone preparation. This allows surgeons to select an appropriate screw length with greater confidence.

A slim measuring probe enables easy insertion into drilled holes while the movable measuring sleeve provides stable and consistent readings.

The simple mechanical design allows quick measurement without requiring a powered system. Its compact size also makes the instrument convenient to include in orthopaedic instrument sets.

Medical-grade stainless steel construction provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance under routine hospital cleaning and sterilisation procedures.

Material & Quality

The Orthopedic Depth Gauge is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Production focuses on scale accuracy, probe alignment, sleeve movement, dimensional consistency, and surface finishing.

Each instrument is inspected for measuring accuracy, probe alignment, graduation clarity, smooth movement, surface condition, and overall workmanship before packaging.

As part of our rongeurs and cutters range, the Orthopedic Depth Gauge supports accurate measurement during fracture fixation and orthopaedic procedures.
