Bone Depth Gauge, Precision Depth Measurement
A stainless steel bone depth gauge used in orthopedic surgery to measure drilled hole depth accurately before screw placement, supporting precise bone fixation.
The Bone Depth Gauge is a stainless steel instrument used in orthopedic surgery to measure the depth of a hole drilled into bone before a screw is selected and inserted, a step that helps the surgical team choose a screw of the correct length for secure fixation. 5mm, giving surgeons a choice of gauge suited to the screw diameter being used in a given procedure.
Depth gauges like these are built from stainless steel so they can withstand repeated sterilization and the physical demands of orthopedic theatre use, where accuracy directly affects implant fit and patient outcome. Getting the measurement right matters because a screw that is too long can irritate surrounding soft tissue, while one that is too short may not achieve stable fixation, so a dependable gauge is a routine part of any orthopedic instrument tray used in trauma and reconstructive surgery across hospitals and surgical centers.
