ABSTRACT:
A size measurer, comprising a main body with a sensor-head not fixed to the main body, so that a main pointer is moved in accordance with the adjustment opposite a range which includes several markers corresponding to the sizes of the available implants, characterised by the fact that it includes a slider fitted separately in relation to the main body, the slider including a first pointer and a second pointer, the first pointer being fitted in a such a way as to be moved, after the sliding of the slider, opposite the said range, and the second slider being moved, after the movement of the slider, opposite the gradations positioned on a fixed area in relation to the main body, the distance between the two points of the slider being such that when the first pointer is opposite the markers corresponding to one of the sizes of the available implants, the second pointer indicates by the gradations the height, in millimetres for example, of the posterior cut to be made in order that the implant is perfectly flush with the level of the anterior cortical.
