What Is an Orthopedic Depth Gauge?
An orthopedic depth gauge is a surgical instrument with an extendable tip on one end and a ruler on the other. The measurements allow surgeons to determine the depth to which the tip has been inserted.
The Purpose of an Orthopedic Depth Gauge
A depth gauge for orthopedic uses is specifically designed to measure the depth of holes drilled into bone. The tip is inserted and extended until it reaches the base of the hole. The measurements on the back end of the device help surgeons select an appropriately sized screw.
Orthopedic depth gauges are used by surgeons when determining what screws to use during surgeries involving fixations to stabilize fractured bone. An imprecise depth gauge can cause the incorrect selection and use of screws, making it imperative to invest in top-quality devices to help ensure successful surgery and patient safety. gSource supplies only the finest German surgical steel orthopedic depth gauges for durability and precision.
Types of Orthopedic Depth Gauges
The surgery-specific applications of orthopedic depth gauges dictate their size. Depth gauges are categorized according to the length of their tip size. At gSource, tip sizes range from 30mm to 150mm. This provides surgeons with precise tools that can be selected based on the size of the bones and drilled holes in various surgeries.
