Description

Sklar Black's Castroviejo Caliper is a measuring and marking instrument commonly used in procedures that involve muscles of the eye, or small bones and joints. This caliper is available with graduated 0-20mm markings and a screw lock that will lock the instrument in place when the measurement is obtained. The overall length of this caliper is 3-1/4 inches and tapers from the measurement end to the tip. The shanks and jaws are straight. Sklar Black Laser instruments feature a non-reflective black polymer coating applied over the sandblasted instrument developed specifically for laser surgeries. This safe, durable coating reduces laser reflection to less than one-tenth of a percent, ensuring a safer surgical environment for patients and surgical staff. All Sklar Black coated instruments comply with biological testing requirements for cytotoxicity, sensitization regulatory, and ISO 10993 requirements. They also comply with the Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle Steam Sterilization Validation of ANSI/AAMI ST79. Sklar Black laser coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects.

Frequently asked questions

Does the coating provide significant protection during laser procedures?

Yes, this instrument features a specialized Sklar Black Laser coating specifically engineered for safety. It reduces laser reflection to less than one-tenth of one percent, which helps minimize the risk of accidental reflection during delicate surgical procedures.

Is this caliper suitable for highly precise measurements?

Absolutely. It is designed for high-accuracy tasks, featuring:

  • Graduated markings from 0-20mm for reliable precision.
  • A secure screw lock mechanism that fixes the instrument’s setting, ensuring your measurement remains constant throughout the procedure.
How durable is the construction of this instrument?

The caliper is built with a robust stainless steel substrate, providing a sturdy foundation. It is then finished with a high-quality, non-reflective polymer coating that is designed for longevity in professional surgical environments.

Is the material safe for sensitive patients?

Yes. The instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities. Furthermore, it complies with rigorous ISO 10993 standards for cytotoxicity and sensitization.

Can this instrument withstand standard sterilization processes?

Yes, it is designed for reusability and meets ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards. It is fully compatible with both Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle steam sterilization processes.

What is the primary benefit of the black polymer coating?

The primary benefit is safety through reduced reflectivity. By using a sandblasted stainless steel base covered in a specialized black polymer, the instrument prevents dangerous laser glare, ensuring a safer environment for both the patient and the surgical team.

Is this tool effective for ocular surgeries?

It is an ideal choice for ophthalmic surgery and other delicate procedures. Its precise 0-20mm scale and compact 3-1/4 inch length make it perfect for measuring small anatomical structures like eye muscles, joints, or small bones.

How reliable is the locking mechanism during use?

The integrated screw lock is designed to securely hold the calipers in place once you have achieved your required measurement. This eliminates the risk of accidental movement while you are marking or measuring.

Does the product come with any form of guarantee?

The instrument is backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Additionally, the specialized black laser coating is guaranteed against manufacturing defects for one full year.

Are the measurements easy to read on the scale?

Yes, the instrument features clearly defined graduated markings from 0 to 20mm. The high-contrast nature of the markings against the specialized finish is designed to allow for quick and accurate readings under surgical lighting.
