  1. Development of Depth Gage Instrument Brian Cost Justin Johnson Tyler Kibbee January 15, 2007

  2. Clarification of Project Description • Design, build and test an improved depth gage instrument for a variety of orthopedic surgeries • Achieve bi-cortical fixation using a compression stopper • Ergonomic Grip • Ease of use for surgeons • Accuracy • Proper depth and correct size screw used

  3. Innovation Workbench Concept Map

  4. Current Status • Obtained 2 existing gages • Reverse engineer in SolidWorks • 5 concept ideas for gage tip • Expandable head • Weekly conference calls setup • Advisor: Derek Lewis, Director of Engineering • Progress updates, new ideas

  5. Tip Demonstration Before Compression After Compression

  6. Lever Demonstration Before Compression After Compression
