Depth gauges are surgical instruments used to accurately determine the depth of recesses, usually drilled holes, by inserting a moveable prong into the recess and visually reading the depth from a scale marked on the device. These instruments assist surgeons in measuring bone hole depth so they can determine the appropriate length of bone screws to be used during orthopaedic procedures.
