  • EDGE Surgical Launches Universal Depth Gauge – A Breakthrough in Orthopedics

    Burlington, MA — [Jan 7, 2025] — EDGE Surgical, Inc, the innovative brand behind the world’s only electronic depth gauge for orthopedic surgery, today announced the launch of a Universal Depth Gauge compatible with all major orthopedic plating systems. With patent-pending dynamic calibration technology, the Ortho EDG® is the world’s first depth gauge to work with every major plating system – a quantum leap forward in depth gauge technology.

    The Universal Depth Gauge furthers the EDGE Surgical mission to modernize the depth gauge. Ortho EDG fully eliminates a point of infection risk with single-use sterility, enhances workflow efficiency, and prevents costly procedure delays. Its high-precision digital display and patented hook provide the consistency and ease of use surgeons have long desired.

    Traditional depth gauges, limited to specific screw sizes and plating systems, force hospitals to maintain dozens of system-specific instruments. This leads to inefficiency, confusion, and risk in managing devices that are notoriously difficult to sterilize effectively.

    Universal Compatibility

    With the click of a button, Ortho EDG now functions as a universal depth gauge, delivering accurate measurements regardless of manufacturer. The Universal Depth Gauge can be easily calibrated to any plating system from major manufacturers, including Depuy Synthes, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, Stryker, Acumed, Paragon 28, Globus, Skeletal Dynamics, Arthrex, Medartis, Trimed, Conventus Flower Orthopedics, and more.

    The Universal Depth Gauge “simplifies surgical workflow, reduces bioburden contamination risk, and keeps the Operating Room running on time,” says Leo Carayannopoulos, CEO of EDGE Surgical. “This saves hospitals money and improves patient outcomes. Adopting EDG just makes sense.”

    An Emerging Standard of Care

    The launch of the Universal Depth Gauge comes amid strong commercial momentum for EDGE Surgical, as the Ortho EDG is quickly becoming a nationwide standard of care. The company reports rapid sales growth and increasing adoption across major hospitals and health systems, expanding its salesforce and distributor footprint to meet accelerating demand.

    With the release of the Universal Depth Gauge, hospitals can now fully replace their standard depth gauges – saving time, money, and frustration while eliminating a point of infection risk.

    “Our growth reflects a fundamental shift in expectations,” says Carayannopoulos. “Hospitals are starting to realize analog depth gauges are an outdated tool. They can be inaccurate and they’re difficult to sterilize, creating risk of secondary infections. Our latest development – dynamic calibration – empowers hospitals to replace all their depth gauges, keep the OR running on time, and bring secondary infection risk due to depth gauges to zero.”

  • Are Your Surgical Tools Really Clean and Sterile? They May Not Be.

    Are Your Surgical Tools Really Clean and Sterile? They May Not Be.

    Surgery is often portrayed as a flawless, high‑tech ballet where every instrument gleams under bright lights, guaranteeing a sterile environment for the patient. Yet a growing body of research—and real‑world incidents—suggests that the reality is far messier. Even after rigorous sterilization protocols, surgical instruments can become contaminated, leading to serious infections, costly lawsuits, and, in tragic cases, loss of life. Below we explore the evidence, highlight notable failures, and discuss why hospitals need to rethink how they guarantee sterility.

    Post‑Sterilization Contamination Is Real

    A 2012 study on Surgical Site Infections Linked to Contaminated Surgical Instruments found a direct correlation between post‑sterilization contamination of instrument sets and an increased rate of surgical site infections in orthopedic and ophthalmic patients. The author’s findings reveal that, even after instruments had left sterilization, microbial analysis showed contamination on packaging and the instruments themselves.

    “Post‑sterilization contamination of sets containing surgical instruments was linked with an increased rate of deep surgical site infections in orthopedic and ophthalmic patients.”

    This finding shatters the assumption that once an instrument is labeled “sterile,” the risk ends there.

    Even Perfect Reprocessing Can Fail Against MDR Pathogens

    The CDC’s 2023 report, Medical Device‑Associated Healthcare Infections: Sterilization and the Potential of Novel Biological Approaches to Ensure Patient Safety, paints an alarming picture. It highlights cases where multidrug‑resistant (MDR) pathogens caused infections despite no identifiable non‑compliance in reprocessing.

    “Alarmingly, medical device HAIs associated with MDR pathogens have occurred where no identifiable non‑compliance in reprocessing occurred.” These incidents that, even when sterile reprocessing is performed following compliant protocols, there is still a risk of contamination.

    Incomplete Disinfection Leads to Person‑to‑Person Transmission

    A 2022 observational study from a major teaching hospital in a resource‑limited country highlighted another dimension of the problem: incomplete disinfection and sterilization can facilitate direct transmission of pathogens between patients.

    “Incomplete disinfection and sterilization of surgical devices have led to person–person transmission through contaminated devices of pathogens.”

    Resource constraints often mean fewer staff, limited equipment, and rushed workflows—all factors that increase the likelihood of missing something.

    Real‑World Consequences: The Porter Adventist Hospital Scandal

    Research and case studies become starkly tangible when we look at actual hospital failures. In 2019, Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver was forced to suspend surgeries after discovering contaminated surgical equipment. The fallout was dramatic:

    The Denver Post coverage highlighted how lapses in tracking, inadequate cleaning validation, and poor staff training culminated in a public health disaster. This incident illustrates that the stakes extend far beyond abstract statistics; lives and livelihoods hang in the balance.

    • Hundreds of infections were traced back to the faulty instruments.
    • At least one death was directly linked to the contamination.
    • The hospital faced >$40 million in lawsuits, a financial hit that dwarfs any internal cost‑saving measures.

    The Dirty Depth Gauge Study: A Micro‑Look at Residual Bioburden

    Even specialized tools aren’t immune. A 2018 study on the Residual Bioburden After Standard Cleaning of the Reusable Orthopedic Depth Gauge revealed measurable microbial remnants after routine cleaning. While the depth gauge is a niche instrument, its contamination mirrors broader trends across the surgical suite.

    This study is a reminder of the limitations of the reusable digital depth gauge.  The device is difficult to clean and sterilize, often requiring a complex disassembly and reassembly, that results in missing or incomplete assemblies.  Even after disassembling, cleaning, sterilizing, and re-assembling, the device has been shown to retain bioburden, putting patients at risk.

    Move to Sterile, Single Use Devices when possible

    With SPD teams pushed to the limit and bioburden concerns across instruments, it only makes good business sense to look for instruments that are sterile packaged for single patient use. 

    Sterile packaging ensures that the instrument arrives not only clean but sterilized and safe to use. This can ultimately relieve the burden of an overworked, understaffed SPD team and ease the concerns of infection control. 

    EDGE saw the issues with existing depth gauges and designed a solution that is easy for surgeons and helps improve patient outcomes. EDG®, the world’s first universal, digital depth gauge, is a sterile, single-patient use depth gauge that not only eliminates contamination concerns but delivers surgical teams a next-generation depth gauge with an easy-to-read display, patented hook, and patent-pending technology to support virtually any plate and screw vendor.

    Ensuring the sterility of reusable instruments is complex and increases risk and liability to the institution.  Moving to sterile, single-use instruments like EDG(R) is the safe, obvious choice.

  • Are Depth Gauges Costing Your Hospital $1,000,000? Mark Copeland’s Analysis says yes

    Are Depth Gauges Costing Your Hospital $1,000,000? Mark Copeland’s Analysis says yes

    In operating rooms across the country (and the world), orthopedic surgeons are helping their patients return to normal function.  Whether the patient is experiences a fracture of the Distal Radius, Tibial Plateau, Distal Femur, or Distal Humerus, the use of a depth gauge is critical to ensure the proper screw is used to ensure a successful procedure the first time.  

    Depth gauges have been used since as early as the 1940s, improving in accuracy and ergonomics over the last 70+ years.  

    We had the opportunity to speak with Mark Copeland, the Value Analysis Whisperer, who brings more than 20 years of experience in medical devices, about the details of his value analysis on the ‘not so hidden’ costs of traditional depth gauges.  

    Q. What made you investigate Depth Gauges as a cost in Orthopedic Surgeries? 

    Mark Copeland. It’s an interesting story.  The team at EDGe reached out to me with a theory that current, reusable depth gauges were costing hospitals far more than the hospital realized.  I was intrigued.  How could something as presumably simple as a depth gauge be a major cost? While an important part of an Orthopedic Surgery, it’s used for only a few minutes.  Can it really be a hidden cost?  And I was as surprised as anyone when I started my analysis, but it is a significant cost and creates an opportunity for hospitals.   

    Q. What do you see as problems with traditional depth gauges?  

    Mark Copeland. As I started to research, I realized the problems these depth gauges cause are multifactorial.  Depth Gauges are VERY difficult for the sterile processing department (SPD) to clean, and bioburden is often found in the instrument intraoperatively.  This is a major contamination and reportable event and delays the OR during the case.   Furthermore, operating rooms accumulate hundreds of wasted hours remeasuring, inserting and wasting screws and taking repeat X-rays.  Believe it or not, depth gauges are VERY hard to read as they age, and this adds to the surgeon’s frustration and mismeasured screws (and longer OR times and more radiation). 

    Finally, while simple-looking, depth gauges are complicated to disassemble, clean, sterilize and reassemble.  Many look the same but have different Instructions for Use, leading to confusion and errors in Sterile Processing.  This risks falling compliance regarding following the Instructions for Use and are at risk for a finding/citation.  The annual expense by hospitals replacing bent, broken, lost or assembling incompatible depth gauge components alone is surprising.  

    Q. What sort of variables did you consider in creating your analysis?  

    Mark Copeland: To help surgeons and hospitals build a clear business case, I was able to summarize the annual effects of traditional depth gauges to a few areas. Specific to the OR, traditional depth gauges impact the following: 

    • Time lost 
    • Implants wasted 
    • Implant costs 
    • Other Delays 

    For the SPD, I was focused on: 

    • Time 
    • Productivity 
    • Depth Gauges Lost. 

    Other, more difficult variables to quantify, but extremely important to the hospital are the risk of infection and reduction in radiation.   

    Q. With those details, is it really possible that depth gauges can be costing hospitals $1 million a year?  

    Mark Copeland: Yes, absolutely.  Obviously, there are determining variables around that cost, and I work closely with each hospital to use their numbers.  It may actually be higher for a hospital in a major city like New York or Boston, and lower for more rural hospitals, but in both cases the costs are significant and easily create the case for a better depth gauge.  

    Q. So, hospitals may be spending $1 million a year on depth gauges. What should they do?  

    Mark Copeland: Uncovering spending this significant creates a tremendous opportunity for hospitals to re-examine their current depth gauges and explore single-use, digital depth gauges, like EDGe surgical.  The use of a digital depth gauge helps to eliminate many of these costs while eliminating bioburden risks.   

    Q. How can hospitals contact you for an analysis of their operating rooms? 

    Mark Copeland.  Hospitals can visit my website https://www.valueanalysisexpert.com/ and schedule a call with me.   

  • It’s Time to Change Your Depth Gauge – Introducing the Digital Depth Gauge by EDGE  

    It’s Time to Change Your Depth Gauge – Introducing the Digital Depth Gauge by EDGE  

    For far too long, orthopedic surgeons and sterile‑processing teams have been forced to rely on antiquated mechanical depth gauges. These bulky, hard‑to‑read instruments not only slow down procedures but also pose cleaning challenges, increase costs, and elevate the risk of infection for patients. EDGE has responded with a modern, low‑risk alternative: a single‑use digital depth gauge designed specifically for plate and screw surgeries.

    A Century‑Old Tool Meets Modern Demands

    For more than a hundred years, the classic depth gauge has been a staple in the operating room. Its simple, reusable design made it an obvious choice for measuring to determine the length of screws before implantation. Yet the very qualities that once made it indispensable—its metal construction, manual readout, and reusable nature—have become liabilities in today’s fast‑paced, surgical environment.

    Common Pain Points of Traditional Gauges

    • Easily Bent Over Time – The extendable tip is a delicate component that can deform after repeated use, compromising measurement accuracy.
    • Dulling Hook – The hook at the tip wears down, making it harder to catch.
    • Challenging to Clean and Sterilize – Its complex geometry creates hidden crevices where bioburden can linger despite rigorous cleaning protocols.
    • Instructions for Use – “IFU’S” are the new “rules” Sterile Processing must follow and depth gauges are often conspicuously absent from Manufacturer’s Guidance.
    • Different depth gauges – Certain depth gauges should be disassembled before being washed.  Others are designed not to come apart… And telling the difference is nearly impossible for OR and SPD staff alike.
    • Difficult to Read – The analog scale resembles a miniature tape measure; OR lighting creates glare that can make reading the measurement difficult.

    These shortcomings translate into tangible consequences for the operating room, the hospital’s bottom line, and, most importantly, patient outcomes.

    Why Every Minute Matters

    OR time is one of the most expensive resources in healthcare, often approaching $100 per minute depending on the facility. A wasted screw wastes valuable minutes, inflates supply costs, and prolongs anesthesia exposure. When precision is non‑negotiable, minor delays and inefficiencies can have a ripple effect.

    Risks to Patients and Facilities

    • Infection Hazard – Inadequate cleaning of the depth gauge can leave residual bioburden, increasing the chances of a surgical‑site infection (SSI). SSIs frequently require additional interventions, extended hospital stays, and repeat surgeries.
    • IFU Non-Compliance – Oversight teams, such as the Joint Commission, are asking SPD staff to document IFU compliance.  Lack of compliance can lead to a costly, time-consuming and embarrassing citation.
    • Wasted Screws  – Incorrect screw selection leads to discarded implants, driving up material expenses and contributing to unnecessary waste.
    • Workflow Disruption – Re‑measuring interrupts the surgical flow, adding stress and radiation exposure to the team.

    Surgeons, OR managers, SPD teams and patients alike demand a more reliable, sterile solution.

    Enter the EDG® Ortho Digital Depth Gauge

    EDGE’s EDG® Ortho is a single‑use, digital depth gauge that directly addresses the flaws of its traditional predecessor. Adopted by leading orthopedic surgeons, the device delivers key advantages:

    1. Instant, High‑Definition Readout – A bright LCD screen presents measurements in real time, eliminating guesswork even under suboptimal lighting.
    2. Accurate Measurement Eliminates Wasted Screws  – With an easy-to-read, accurate readout, the correct measurement is displayed the first time, eliminating the need to remeasure.
    3. Always Sterile – As a single-use instrument, the EDG Ortho eliminates any bioburden or sterility risks. 

    Collectively, these benefits translate into measurable gains: reduced OR time, lower infection risk, lower fluro exposure/radiation and fewer wasted screws—all of which improve both patient outcomes and can contribute to the financial health of the institution.

    A New Chapter for EDGE Surgical

    We’re thrilled to launch the EDGE Surgical Blog, a space where we’ll share insights on both our product and trends that impact depth gauge technology. Our goal is to share information about EDGE and our digital depth gauge technology and the value it can bring. 

    A digital, single‑use depth gauge is not just a technology upgrade; it’s an investment in the reduction of contamination risk, of wasted screws, and of OR time.

  • Finally, a Digital Depth Gauge for Orthopedic Surgery – Because Your Patients Deserve Better 

    Finally, a Digital Depth Gauge for Orthopedic Surgery – Because Your Patients Deserve Better 

    Every year in the United States more than seven million orthopedic procedures are performed, and the average orthopedic surgeon walks into the operating room for roughly 30 cases each month. These numbers illustrate how central orthopedics is to modern medicine, yet the instrument that determines whether a screw fits perfectly—or sticks out and threatens nerves, vessels, or soft‑tissue—has changed little since the turn of the 20th century. 

    The Legacy Tool and Its Hidden Costs 

    For almost a century surgeons have depended on a mechanical depth gauge composed of two simple parts: 

    • Extendable tip with a hook – Inserted into the drilled hole, the hook catches the far cortex and defines the measurement point. 
    • Ruler/graded scale – Located on the opposite end, the etched markings allow the surgeon to read the depth, usually in 1‑mm increments. 

    While elegant in its simplicity, the design carries several chronic drawbacks that accumulate with every reuse: 

    1. Bend‑prone tip – Repeated sterilization cycles weaken the slender probe. Even a slight bend skews the reading, forcing the surgeon to double‑check or resort to intra‑operative imaging. 
    1. Dulling hook – The hook rubs against bone each time it catches the cortex, gradually losing its bite and making reliable engagement a gamble. 
    1. Labor‑intensive reprocessing – The instrument’s multiple moving pieces hide crevices where bioburden can linger. Disassembly, cleaning, and inspection are time‑consuming, and missing components are not uncommon. 
    1. Analog readout under suboptimal lighting – In a bright, blood‑splattered field, deciphering etched metal against a dark background is a visual challenge that can lead to misreading by a fraction of a millimeter—enough to jeopardize a joint’s delicate anatomy. 

    Surgeons have learned to compensate: they may straighten a bent tip with forceps, re‑hook a worn tip, measure twice, or even obtain a quick fluoroscopic image to confirm length. All of these work‑arounds consume precious minutes in a setting where operating‑room time can cost close to $100 per minute. 

    Why Precision Matters 

    Most orthopedic implants rely on screws that sit snugly within a confined bony corridor. An undersized screw compromises fixation strength; an oversized one can protrude, irritate surrounding nerves, or damage vascular structures. In joint reconstructions—where millimeters separate cartilage from hardware—the margin for error is razor thin. The stakes are amplified by the global 90‑day episode of care model: a postoperative infection or revision within that window erases any revenue from the index procedure and places the patient at unnecessary risk. 

    The Digital Solution: EDG® Ortho 

    Enter EDG® Ortho, EDGE Surgical’s single‑use digital depth gauge. Designed from the ground up for modern orthopedics, it eliminates the mechanical frailties that have plagued surgeons for generations. 

    • Digital display to the tenth of a millimeter – A crisp LCD panel shows depth in 0.1 mm increments, removing the guesswork of interpreting etched scales under harsh lighting. 
    • Sterile, disposable construction – Because the gauge is discarded after one case, there is no reprocessing, no hidden bioburden, and no risk of missing parts. Hospitals instantly eliminate a labor‑intensive cleaning step and the associated infection hazard. 
    • Robust, single‑piece tip – Engineered from a high‑grade alloy that resists deformation, the tip remains straight and the hook retains its grip throughout the entire procedure. 

    Early adopters—leading trauma and joint‑reconstruction surgeons with decades of experience—report consistent first‑attempt measurements, a noticeable reduction in intra‑operative pauses, and a smoother workflow that translates into shorter case times. 

    Real‑World Impact 

    Consider a typical trauma case where a surgeon must place three cortical screws. Using a conventional gauge, the team might spend an extra 3–5 minutes verifying lengths, adjusting, and possibly obtaining a confirmatory X‑ray. At $100 per minute, that adds $300–$500 to the bill, not to mention the intangible cost of increased fatigue and cognitive load. With EDG® Ortho, those minutes are reclaimed for definitive fixation, patient counseling, or moving on to the next case. 

    Beyond time savings, the infection risk drops dramatically. Studies of single‑use orthopedic instruments consistently show lower bacterial counts compared with reprocessed counterparts. By removing a potential source of surgical‑site infection, hospitals protect patients and safeguard reimbursement under bundled‑payment models. 

    A Vision for the Future 

    Orthopedic surgery is already one of the most profitable specialties, driven by high volumes and sophisticated implants. Yet profitability should not eclipse patient safety. The transition from a century‑old analog gauge to a digital, disposable device reflects a broader shift toward precision‑focused, workflow‑optimized tools that honor both the surgeon’s craftsmanship and the patient’s right to the highest standard of care. 

    EDGE Surgical’s commitment goes beyond the product itself. Through the EDGE Surgical Blog, we will continue to share insights from the operating room, data on outcomes, and stories from surgeons who have embraced the digital gauge. Our goal is to foster a community that values evidence‑based innovation and relentless improvement.
