Jameson Caliper Graduated Scale marking

Professional Jameson Caliper for Precision Ophthalmic and Plastic Surgery Measurement

The Jameson Caliper is a fundamental surgical measuring instrument for clinicians who specialize in strabismus surgery and aesthetic reconstruction. As a premier ophthalmic caliper, this tool features a meticulously etched graduated scale that ensures accurate assessment of muscle recession and resection distances. By utilizing these precision surgical markers, medical professionals can achieve the high level of symmetry and anatomical accuracy required for successful ocular and facial interventions.

Forged from high-quality AISI 420 surgical stainless steel, our Jameson Caliper is designed to maintain its calibration through repeated sterilization cycles. The integrated thumb screw mechanism makes these plastic surgery marking instruments a reliable choice for holding measurements securely while transferring data to surgical records. Whether you are performing a complex blepharoplasty or a standard ophthalmic procedure, this measuring tool from Adas Instruments offers the mechanical stability and refined craftsmanship necessary for elite clinical performance.

Surgical Applications

• Ophthalmic Surgery: Primarily used for measuring eye muscle recession and resection.
• Plastic Surgery: Ideal for measuring skin flaps, eyelid dimensions, and facial symmetry.
• Pediatric Surgery: Used for measuring small anatomical distances in neonatal procedures.
• Maxillofacial Surgery: Effective for measuring bone segments and soft tissue gaps.

Care and Maintenance Guidelines

• Post-Operative Rinse: Rinse the caliper under cool water immediately after use to remove any organic debris or saline.
• Manual Cleaning: Use a soft nylon brush and neutral pH enzymatic detergent to clean the graduated scale.
• Locking Mechanism Care: Ensure the thumb screw is loosened during cleaning and sterilization to prevent tension buildup.
• Lubrication: Apply a medical-grade lubricant to the sliding joint and screw thread before autoclaving.
• Sterilization: Fully autoclavable at 134°C for 3.5 minutes to maintain total surgical sterility.
