Bone Thickness Gauge 40mm & 18cm

Bone Thickness Gauge 40mm & 18cm

The Bone Thickness Gauge 40mm & 18cm is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, featuring a scissor-action crossed shank mechanism with two finger ring handles and two opposing pointed measurement tips at the working end. The instrument measures 18cm in overall length with a maximum jaw opening capacity of 40mm. A curved calibrated scale arc is integrated between the crossed shanks, carrying engraved graduation markings from 0–15mm that display direct bone thickness readings as the pointed tips compress against opposing cortical bone surfaces.

The scissor-action crossed shank mechanism of this surgical bone caliper measurement instrument translates finger ring compression directly into proportional tip closure, with the integrated curved scale arc reading bone thickness values simultaneously during tip approximation without requiring separate measurement steps. The pointed tip geometry ensures precise cortical surface contact against irregular bone topography. This bone gauge instrument is fully autoclavable at 134°C, maintaining scale arc calibration, tip alignment, ring handle integrity, and crossed shank pivot function through repeated sterilization cycles without corrosion or mechanical loosening.

The Bone Thickness Gauge 40mm & 18cm is used by oral surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and implantologists during Bone thickness Gauge assessment procedures for implant site planning, orthognathic surgery preparation, and cortical bone thickness verification. The surgeon positions one pointed tip against the buccal cortical surface and the opposing tip against the lingual surface, closes the ring handles until both tips contact bone simultaneously, and reads the direct thickness measurement from the curved scale arc between the shanks.

Leader Surgical provides surgeons with a direct-reading bone measurement solution that eliminates the two-step process of separate probing and caliper measurement, the integrated scale arc delivering simultaneous thickness readings during tip approximation reflects a brand that values procedural efficiency and genuine surgical instrument functionality over unnecessary complexity.

What is the primary use of this gauge?
It is used to measure the thickness of the alveolar ridge or maxillary bone during dental implant surgery. This ensures the bone is wide enough to support the selected implant size.
