10 cm
Measuring soft tissue distances during facial and periocular procedures calls for an instrument that holds its setting without drifting, and the Townley pattern is built with exactly that requirement in mind. At 10cm, this spring caliper gives surgeons a slightly longer reach than smaller ophthalmic patterns, useful when a measurement needs to span a wider portion of the surgical field. As one of the diagnostic instruments supporting plastic and oculoplastic surgery, it fills the gap between compact eyelid calipers and larger general measuring instruments.
This caliper is commonly reached for during:
Facial and periocular tissue distance measurement
Oculoplastic procedures requiring precise, repeatable spacing
Reconstructive and plastic surgery cases involving symmetry checks
Teaching environments where measurement consistency is part of the curriculum
The spring mechanism keeps the jaws steady once positioned, which removes one variable from procedures where symmetry and exact spacing directly affect the outcome. Surgeons working across facial reconstruction, blepharoplasty, and related procedures benefit from having a caliper sized specifically for these measurements rather than adapting a general purpose instrument. Add this diagnostic instrument to your facility supply.
