Additional Information for Femoral Head Caliper
Femoral Head Caliper is a medical instrument used in orthopedic surgery. It is specifically designed to measure the diameter of the femoral head, which is the ball-shaped part of the thigh bone (femur) that fits into the hip socket.
The caliper consists of two arms with pointed ends that can be adjusted to fit around the femoral head. By gently placing the caliper around the femoral head, the surgeon can accurately measure its diameter. This measurement is crucial in determining the appropriate size of implants, such as hip prostheses, that may be needed during surgery.
Femoral Head Calipers are commonly used in hip replacement surgeries, where the damaged femoral head is replaced with an artificial implant. Accurate measurement of the femoral head diameter ensures that the implant fits properly and provides optimal function and stability.
These calipers are made from high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure durability and sterility. They are designed to be easy to use and provide precise measurements.
Femoral Head Calipers are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies. This supply group includes a wide range of instruments, equipment, and supplies used in medical, dental, and veterinary practices.
