Clear Angular Measurement with Controlled, Atraumatic Handling

The Zaldivar degree gauge is a surgical measuring instrument designed to assess angles from 0° to 180° in 10° increments. Its 4 1/4-inch length supports practical positioning at the working site, while the round handle provides a familiar grasp during controlled manipulation. Superiorly positioned atraumatic fixation teeth help maintain contact without relying on sharp tissue-engaging points. The gauge can support angle assessment and alignment tasks in dental workflows and approved ophthalmic applications where a graduated instrument is appropriate. Its defined internal and external diameters further identify the instrument’s dimensional profile for handling and procedural planning.

Use Cases

• Measure and compare angles across the 0°–180° range during dental instrument handling and alignment tasks.
• Use the graduated gauge in approved ophthalmic workflows requiring a defined angular reference.
• Position the instrument using the round handle for controlled manual handling.
• Use the superiorly positioned atraumatic fixation teeth to support contact during measurement.
• Reference the internal and external diameters when planning access, placement, or instrument handling around the working site.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the gauge promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instrument-care instructions.
• Inspect the graduated markings, fixation teeth, and handle before and after use for visible damage, residue, or impairment.
• Handle the atraumatic fixation teeth carefully to preserve their intended profile and protect adjacent instruments.
• Store the gauge in a manner that prevents impact, bending, or contact damage to its measuring and fixation features.

General use; follow facility protocols.
