Orthopaedic implant/instrument depth limiter

Definition

An orthopaedic device designed to limit the depth of insertion of a surgical instrument (e.g., a drill bit or a reamer), a trial implant, or an implant. It may be used as a stand-alone device or it may be attached to another device to control the insertion depth; this can be to prevent the insertion of an instrument or implant below the surgical field of interest thereby avoiding damage to tissue behind or below the target structures. It is typically made from high-grade stainless steel and/or synthetic material and is available in a variety of shapes and lengths. This is a reusable device.
