Measuring Gauge – Surgical Angled Blade Plate – 11-1763-00

Selecting the correct nail length before intramedullary fixation is not a step surgeons want to get wrong twice. The 11-1763-00 measuring gauge is built for that exact moment, giving a direct, intraoperative reading of canal length so the nail chosen matches the bone rather than requiring a mid case swap.
Getting length right the first time matters clinically. A nail that runs too short can leave the fracture site inadequately bridged, while one too long risks impingement at the joint or cortical perforation distally. Rather than relying on preoperative templating alone, which shifts with patient positioning and magnification variance on imaging, this gauge lets the surgeon confirm length against the actual prepared canal.
Where it fits into the workflow:
Part of Next Edge Surgical’s broader catalog of bone surgery instruments, the gauge is built in surgical stainless steel and holds its calibration through repeated autoclave cycles, which matters for an instrument whose entire value depends on measurement accuracy staying consistent case after case.
For trauma services running a busy intramedullary nailing schedule, having a dedicated, reliable gauge on the tray avoids delays waiting on implant reps to confirm sizing and keeps the surgeon in control of a decision that affects the whole construct.
