Micro Boley Gauge Straight

Micro Boley Gauge Straight

The Micro Boley Gauge Straight is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, featuring a straight cylindrical body with a fixed upper jaw and a sliding lower jaw connected by a precision-machined track mechanism. The instrument measures approximately 120mm in overall length with a calibrated millimeter scale engraved along the body spanning 0–80mm. A knurled thumbscrew locking mechanism on the sliding jaw allows fixed measurement retention at any point along the scale for repeat reference during clinical and laboratory procedures.

The sliding jaw mechanism of this dental caliper measurement instrument moves smoothly along the calibrated track, with a secondary OUT indicator window on the sliding component providing direct measurement readings without parallax error during chairside use. The straight jaw configuration allows parallel placement against flat tooth surfaces, ridge contours, and prosthetic components. This micro boley gauge is fully autoclavable at 134°C, maintaining sliding mechanism smoothness, scale legibility, jaw alignment, and thumbscrew locking function through repeated sterilization cycles without corrosion or dimensional drift.

The Micro Boley Gauge Straight is used by prosthodontists, orthodontists, and dental laboratory technicians as a Micro Boley Gauge 0-90cm Ruler equivalent measurement instrument during crown preparation assessment, tooth dimension analysis, denture tooth selection, implant component measurement, and orthodontic space analysis procedures. The clinician positions the jaws against opposing anatomical landmarks, slides the lower jaw to contact, locks the thumbscrew, and reads the measurement directly from the calibrated scale to verify dimensional accuracy.

Leader Surgical understands that measurement accuracy at the planning stage directly determines procedural outcomes, this micro boley gauge reflects the brand’s recognition that clinicians and laboratory technicians deserve measurement instruments built to the same material and dimensional standards as the surgical instruments they accompany throughout every treatment workflow.

What is the difference between a “Straight” and “Curved” Boley gauge?

• Straight Tip: Features narrow, thin ends (often around 0.8 mm) designed for high visibility and access to tight interproximal areas (between teeth).
• Curved/Flat Tip: Typically used for more general measurements of tooth height or width where direct, straight-line access is not restricted by surrounding structures.
