Understanding Gauge Measurement
Gauge is a measurement used to specify the diameter of surgical instruments such as cannulas. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter of the instrument. For instance, a higher gauge number indicates a finer, more delicate instrument.
Converting Gauge to Millimeters
The conversion from gauge to millimeters varies depending on the type of instrument. Here’s a helpful chart to convert common surgical instrument gauges to millimeters:
| Gauge | Diameter (mm) |
|---|---|
| 18 | 1.27 mm |
| 20 | 0.91 mm |
| 22 | 0.71 mm |
| 24 | 0.51 mm |
| 26 | 0.36 mm |
| 28 | 0.32 mm |
| 30 | 0.26 mm |
