Depth Gauge for Locking Screws
After drilling both cortices, remove the drill bit and the drill
sleeve.
Disassemble the depth gauge into 2 parts: the outer sleeve
and the measuring device with hook. Insert the measuring
device into the protection sleeve. Make sure that the hook
grasps the far cortex and that the protection sleeve is on the
bone.
Read the measurement from the back of the protection
sleeve, which corresponds to the appropriate length of the
locking screw.
