A surgical depth gauge, single-use, is an instrument used during operations to measure how deep a hole or recess is in bone, helping the surgeon select the appropriate length of a bone screw. The device typically features a sliding prong, a disc that rides on a drill bit, or a marked rod that provides a direct depth reading.
These gauges are intended for one-time use and are regulated as sterile surgical instruments, requiring compliance with applicable medical device safety and labeling standards. They are supplied pre‑sterilized and packaged for single patient use, and must meet the regulatory requirements for disposable devices in the jurisdictions where they are marketed.
