Llinas Vertical Offset Gauge

The Llinas Vertical Offset Gauge is a specialized orthopedic measuring instrument designed for compatible applications requiring precise assessment of vertical offset. Its extended 17.25-inch (43.8 cm) overall length provides a long working profile, while the sliding bevel arms provide adjustable measurement configurations.

Design and Configuration

The gauge has an overall length of 17.25 inches (43.8 cm). It features sliding bevel arms available in two lengths:

• 2.4 inches (6 cm)
• 3.15 inches (8 cm)

The sliding bevel configuration allows selection of the appropriate arm length according to the measurement requirements of the intended application.

Sliding Bevel Arms

The two supplied arm-length options provide different working profiles:

2.4-inch (6 cm) Sliding Bevel Arm: A shorter configuration for applications requiring a more compact measurement reach.

3.15-inch (8 cm) Sliding Bevel Arm: A longer configuration providing additional measurement reach where required.

Working Characteristics

The 17.25-inch overall length provides an extended gauge profile, while the sliding bevel arms provide dimensional flexibility. The two arm lengths allow the instrument to accommodate different measurement requirements within compatible orthopedic applications.

Surgical Applications

The Llinas Vertical Offset Gauge is designed for compatible orthopedic measurement and planning applications where assessment of vertical offset or related dimensions is required. Selection and use should be based on the specific procedure and the judgment of the qualified surgical professional.

Handling and Use Considerations

The appropriate sliding bevel arm configuration should be selected according to the required measurement range and working access. The gauge should be handled carefully to maintain accurate alignment and proper mechanical function.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the gauge should be cleaned and processed according to established healthcare-facility protocols for reusable surgical instruments. The sliding mechanism and bevel arms should be inspected for retained material, obstruction, deformation, or damage.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before use, the instrument should be inspected for cleanliness, structural integrity, and proper sliding-arm movement. Sterilization should follow applicable institutional procedures and validated instrument-processing requirements.
