Clinical Applications

The Castroviejo caliper straight 0-20mm is an essential surgical tool across several micro-surgical disciplines. In ophthalmic surgery, it is routinely used for measuring muscle recession distances during strabismus repair, corneal graft dimensions, and scleral markers. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons rely on this device for precise skin flap marking, cartilage sizing, and microvascular tissue layout. It is also used in maxillofacial and hand surgery where precise linear assessment is necessary.

Material & Sterilization

Formed from premium German stainless steel, this instrument resists pitting, stain formation, and rust under heavy clinical usage. It is built to endure standard autoclave sterilization protocols up to 134°C without affecting mechanical calibration or legibility of the laser-etched markings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Castroviejo caliper straight 0-20mm used for?

The Castroviejo caliper straight 0-20mm is a specialized surgical gauge used for precise linear measuring of anatomical structures from 0 to 20 millimeters. It is primarily used during ophthalmic, plastic, and microvascular surgical procedures to plan graft dimensions, muscle movements, and incision sites accurately.

What is the difference between a straight and an angled Castroviejo caliper?

A straight Castroviejo caliper features measuring tips aligned directly with the instrument body, making it ideal for direct linear measurement on flat or exposed surgical surfaces. An angled Castroviejo caliper features bent tips designed to lift the instrument shaft out of the line of sight when operating under high surgical magnification.

Is the Castroviejo caliper straight 0-20mm autoclavable?

Yes, the Castroviejo caliper straight 0-20mm is constructed from medical-grade German stainless steel and is fully autoclavable. It maintains structural integrity and scale precision through standard steam autoclave cycles up to 134°C.

Is custom branding or OEM manufacturing available for bulk orders?

Yes, Healermed Instruments offers custom laser branding, private labeling, and OEM solutions for distributors, hospital systems, and equipment vendors. Custom logos and specific reference codes can be permanently etched on the instruments during manufacture.
