A highly precise (within 1 mm) device designed for measuring distances between two points — can be used even if there are intervening structures like soft tissue or bone, and in situations where a straight ruler will not work
Examples of use include measuring limb length in total hip arthroplasty, confirming length in megaprosthetic knee replacements, and assessing dimensions of allografts.
Accuracy Statement for devices with a measuring function: Devices with a measuring function are considered non-critical, non-calibrated, and are intended for reference-only measurements. While it provides a helpful visual guide for relative measurements, it is not calibrated to specific precision standards. Measurements taken with this device should not be considered accurate enough for critical applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances. General manufacturing tolerances of +\- 1% at each graduation, or 2% of the full scale apply, but no conformance qualifications are provided or implied.
