Scan Gauges:

All Scan Gauges are made from Grade V Titanium, not prone to damage through regular use or standard sterilization protocols (Autoclave or Cold Sterilize).

Scan Gauges come in various lengths and collar heights:

  3mm Collar Height 5mm Collar Height
Short x3 x3
Medium x3 x3
Long x3 x3

 

The reason for differing heights and lengths is to ensure enough options to "close the gaps" when arranging on a patients arch. Learn more about placement here.

Pro Tip: Use small gauges with shorter collar height where possible to minimize the scanning surface area.

All Gen 2.0 Scan Gauges have the intelligent marking system, along with dimple markings at the screw channels and ends of some gauges.

These features are essential when scanning as they ensure all data is captured, and that the Library Association process can be completed by the lab.

 

Narrow Scan Bodies:

Scan Gauge Kits contain 3 Narrow Scan Bodies.

For use when implant sites are too close together for a Scan Gauge to fit.

Important: If Narrow Scan Bodies are used in lieu of Scan Gauges when not necessary scan data may be negatively effected.

Scan Analogs:

Gen 2.0 Scan Gauge Kits contains 4 Scan Analogs.

Scan Analogs are used to gain a reference of existing prostheses, also known as a reverse scan body. These are necessary for Design or Finished Prosthesis orders with Osteon.
