Castroviejo Caliper

Description

Castroviejo Caliper

Intrace USA crafts the Castroviejo Caliper for precise, direct measurement during ophthalmic and microsurgical procedures. The spring-action, self-closing arms hold their position under light finger pressure while the curved, graduated scale reads the distance between the two fine points in millimeters, giving surgeons an immediate, accurate readout without needing a second instrument or assistant. For added flexibility, this model comes in multiple scale ranges (Size: 15mm, 20mm), so surgical teams can match the instrument to the measurement the procedure calls for. Because every unit goes through inspection before it ships, Intrace USA can back it with dependable, consistent performance.

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmologists reach for the Castroviejo Caliper to measure corneal diameter, scleral tunnel and incision length, and muscle recession or resection distances during strabismus surgery, while plastic surgeons and other microsurgeons use it wherever a small, precise dimension needs to be confirmed intraoperatively. Because the required measurement varies by procedure and by patient anatomy, having both the 15mm and 20mm scale ranges on hand means the surgeon always has the right span available without over- or under-reaching the scale. In short, the right range makes the measurement faster and more reliable, not just more convenient. Because clinic and OR routines differ from setting to setting, stocking both ranges also helps teams stay consistent from case to case.

Care and Maintenance

Clean and dry the Castroviejo Caliper after each use to protect its long-term performance. Wash it with a neutral pH detergent, rinse thoroughly, and then follow your facility’s sterilization protocol. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, since they can dull the stainless steel finish over time. With proper care, this instrument holds its accuracy and lasts through years of routine use. For added protection between uses, store it separately from other instruments to avoid nicks or scratches to the graduated scale and measuring points.
