Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Straight Tips, 18cm Length

Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Straight Tips, 18cm for Direct Anatomical Measurement

The Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Straight Tips, 18cm is a precision measuring instrument developed for clinicians who need reliable dimensional assessment during dental, periodontal, implant, oral surgical, and maxillofacial procedures. Its straight-tip configuration gives the instrument a direct measuring path, making it particularly useful when the measuring points can be approached without an angled or curved tip.

The straight measuring tips are the defining feature of this model. They allow the clinician to align the caliper directly with the anatomical structures being evaluated, providing clear positioning when measuring bone width, soft-tissue dimensions, graft material, implant sites, or other surgical landmarks. This direct alignment can be especially useful when visual control of the measurement points is important.

A 0–40mm measuring range gives the caliper flexibility across a broad range of intraoral and surgical measurements. The scale can be used when assessing alveolar ridge dimensions, evaluating implant placement sites, checking graft dimensions, or recording relevant tissue measurements as part of clinical assessment and treatment planning.

The instrument uses a precision sliding mechanism for controlled adjustment of the measuring arms. This allows the tips to be positioned gradually against the selected anatomical landmarks, helping the operator obtain repeatable measurements without relying solely on visual estimation.

At 18cm in overall length, the caliper provides practical working reach while remaining suitable for controlled handling. The length can be useful when measuring intraoral structures while maintaining a comfortable hand position and an unobstructed view of the area being assessed.

Clinically, the instrument can support implant planning, alveolar ridge assessment, bone evaluation, graft measurement, periodontal assessment, oral surgery, and maxillofacial procedures. Its purpose is dimensional assessment, allowing clinicians to obtain measurements that can contribute to treatment planning, surgical evaluation, and anatomical documentation.

The caliper is manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, providing a durable construction suitable for repeated professional use. Its corrosion-resistant, reusable, and autoclavable design allows it to be incorporated into appropriate clinical cleaning and sterilization workflows.

Clinical Applications

• Implant Site Assessment — measuring relevant dimensions during implant planning and surgical evaluation.
• Alveolar Ridge Measurement — assessing ridge width and other measurable anatomical dimensions.
• Bone Evaluation — obtaining direct measurements of accessible bony structures.
• Bone Graft Measurement — checking graft dimensions before or during appropriate grafting procedures.
• Periodontal Assessment — supporting measurement of relevant soft-tissue and periodontal structures.
• Oral Surgery — providing dimensional measurements during surgical procedures.
• Maxillofacial Assessment — assisting with anatomical measurement and documentation where appropriate.
