Description

Engineered to provide ultra-precise thickness measurements for dental crowns, copings, and framework wax-ups, this premium Iwanson Crown Gauge is an essential diagnostic tool for both laboratory technicians and clinical prosthodontists. The specialized caliper features a spring-loaded caliper system that maintains constant, gentle pressure on the material being evaluated, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable readouts. Its dual-sided, fine-pointed measurement tips are specifically shaped to reach deep into the narrowest occlusal and proximal zones of a crown without scratching or deforming the delicate wax or metal substructure.

The clear, high-contrast measurement scale is deeply etched onto the gauge body, allowing for rapid, error-free reading of thicknesses up to 1/10th of a millimeter. Designed with a lightweight and perfectly balanced frame, it fits comfortably in the hand for effortless one-handed operation during fast-paced quality control checks. Forged from high-grade, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel, this robust gauge retains its structural calibration and resists flexing under manual pressure, ensuring lasting dimensional reliability through endless laboratory and sterilization cycles.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Spring-Loaded Precision: Built with a calibrated spring mechanism that delivers uniform measuring tension for highly precise, reliable thickness assessments.
• Fine-Pointed Caliper Tips: Designed with micro-profiled measurement points that easily access tight crown recesses and thin margins without damaging the restoration.
• 1/10mm Etched Scale: Features a crisp, deeply engraved measurement grid that allows for micro-accurate readings at a single glance.
• One-Handed Ergonomic Operation: The lightweight, fluid mechanical layout ensures the gauge can be completely controlled and read using only one hand.
• Deformation-Resistant Alignment: Forged from high-tensile medical steel to prevent the caliper arms from bending out of true calibration over time.
• 100% Autoclavable: Fully capable of withstanding standard high-temperature autoclave sterilization and deep ultrasonic cleaning without degrading the spring or scale readability.
