Clinical Application
Provides a precise, low-profile reference for intraoperative measurement and documentation. Commonly used to measure incision length, wound dimensions, grafts and flaps, skin markings, and implant or instrument lengths during procedures in general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, orthopedics, ENT, and minor procedure clinics. Its straight form allows direct placement at the operative site for accurate recording and communication of dimensions in the operative note and for preoperative templating.
Design & Configuration
The straight, flat geometry permits placement adjacent to tissue without significant displacement, enabling accurate linear measurements. A 30 cm span covers typical surgical fields while remaining manageable within sterile trays. The rigid construction prevents flexing that can introduce measurement error. The low-profile design makes it easy to insert into shallow wounds or along skin surfaces for photographing or charting dimensions.
