Surgical Sliding Caliper

Product Overview

This surgical sliding caliper is used to measure linear distances and dimensions. The instrument is offered in two configurations that pair an overall instrument length with a stated measuring range, so the selection reflects both the working size of the instrument and the span it is able to measure. Both configurations share the same caliper design and differ only in scale.

A sliding caliper is read by setting its jaws to the span to be measured and reading the value at the point where the sliding scale aligns with the fixed scale. The stated measuring range defines the largest span the caliper will accommodate, so the range is a primary selection criterion alongside the overall length of the instrument.

Design and Configuration

The family comprises two members. The larger configuration has an overall length of 240 mm (9 1/2″) and a measuring range up to 150 mm. The compact configuration has an overall length of 130 mm (5 1/8″) and a measuring range up to 100 mm. In both, overall length and measuring range co-vary together, which is why each is treated as one selectable configuration rather than as independent options. A department can therefore choose the compact caliper for smaller measurements in confined fields, or the larger caliper where a wider measuring range is needed.

This product is offered as a family of related configurations. The available configurations are:

• Surgical Caliper, 240 mm (9 1/2″), Measuring Range up to 150 mm (article AA846R): 240.00 mm (9 1/2″); range up to 150 mm.
• Surgical Caliper, 130 mm (5 1/8″), Measuring Range up to 100 mm (article AA847R): 130.00 mm (5 1/8″); range up to 100 mm.

All configurations share the same instrument type and pattern identity and are listed together as a single family so the correct option can be selected without changing the instrument design. Refer to the individual variation for the exact specification when requesting a quote.

Selection Guidance

Selection within the family is straightforward because every member shares the same instrument type; only the distinguishing attribute changes between configurations. A department can therefore standardize on a single design and stock or order the specific option that matches the task at hand, rather than treating each option as a different instrument.

Technical Specifications

The following specifications are taken directly from the source catalog. Fields the catalog does not state are omitted rather than estimated:

• Instrument Type: Surgical Caliper (sliding).
• Available Lengths: 130 mm (5 1/8″), 240 mm (9 1/2″).
• Measuring Ranges: up to 100 mm, up to 150 mm.
• Configurations: 2.
• Family ID: FAM-000002.

In terms of specification scope, the source catalog states the following for this item: instrument type, available lengths, measuring ranges, configurations. It does not state material, surface finish, so those are not listed above; we present only the attributes the catalog publishes and confirm any further detail on request. Keeping the record limited to published attributes preserves traceability between the storefront entry and the original catalog.

Applications

The following uses follow directly from the instrument’s type and the catalog specification:

• Measuring linear distances and dimensions during surgical procedures.
• Selecting a measuring range up to 100 mm or up to 150 mm according to the task.

Identification and Traceability

This product is identified by Aesculap article numbers AA846R, AA847R; the internal family identifier FAM-000002. Every record traces back to the catalog page on which the item appears, so the published article number remains the authoritative ordering reference.

Specification Scope and Material

Material and surface finish are not stated in the source catalog for this item and are therefore not listed; these details can be confirmed on request and are not estimated here.

Catalog Reference

For reference, this product is catalogued within the Instruments for Measuring section of the source surgical instrument catalog. The published article number is treated as the authoritative ordering reference, and the storefront presentation is kept brand-neutral and factual.

Ordering Information

This storefront operates as a business-to-business inquiry platform for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors and dealers. Native prices are not displayed. Because the product is offered in several configurations, the required configuration should be chosen first, after which a quote can be requested for that specific article number. A request-a-quote or send-inquiry action returns current pricing, lead time and availability, and our team responds with the details needed to complete an order.
