X-Ray Ruler (Radiopaque)

Product Overview

The X-Ray Ruler is a measuring rule that is visible on radiographic images, allowing a scale to be captured within a radiograph. It is graduated in 0.5 cm increments and has an overall length of 500 mm (19 3/4″). Unlike a standard surgical ruler, this instrument is intended to appear on imaging, so the scale can be read directly from the radiographic image.

Because the rule registers on a radiographic image, the captured scale can be compared against imaged structures, so a dimension can be assessed directly from the radiograph rather than only from the physical field. The scale is read in 0.5 cm increments, and the captured image preserves the scale alongside whatever is imaged with it.

Design and Configuration

The ruler is graduated in 0.5 cm steps along a 500 mm (19 3/4″) length. Its distinguishing feature is radiographic visibility: the rule registers on an x-ray image so that the captured scale can be referenced against imaged anatomy or objects. The instrument is supplied as a single configuration.

This item is supplied as a single configuration; the source catalog lists no variant options for it.

Selection Guidance

This item is selected when a scale needs to appear on a radiographic image; it is a distinct product from the standard surgical rulers in the same category, which are not intended to register on imaging.

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: X-Ray Ruler.
• Graduation: 0.5 cm increments.
• Length: 500 mm (19 3/4″).
• Visibility: Visible on radiographic images.
• Article Number: AA808R.

In terms of specification scope, the source catalog states the following for this item: instrument type, graduation, length, visibility, article number. 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:

• Providing a measurement scale that is captured on radiographic images.
• Reading dimensions in 0.5 cm increments from a radiograph.

Identification and Traceability

This product is identified by Aesculap article number AA808R; the internal family identifier FAM-000005. Every record traces back to the catalog page on which the item appears, so the published article number remains the authoritative ordering reference.
