OrthoMark® - OM-1012 Clamp Surgical Planning Marker

OrthoMark was designed over 20 years ago to help measure x-ray magnification in digital images and they’ve been doing the job since. OrthoMark is compatible with all medical, orthopedic and veterinary templating software available, and there is a solution for every x-ray room.

The small clamp base Model OM-1012 is designed for use on any clampable surface, flat or round, up to 2” thick, but works best on round surfaces with a maximum thickness of 1.5″. It works especially well when attached to patient grab handles, or step stool and elevated stair handles. When using, simply position and tighten. When attaching to a round surface, position the V notch on the fixed side of the clamp where you intend to clamp, use the T-handle to tighten. This is a strong clamp, so don’t overtighten.

Position the sphere normally after positioning patient. By positioning OrthoMark's solid, 1 inch (25.4mm) stainless steel calibration ball at the precise anatomical plane of the shoulder, hip, knee—or any anatomy for that matter—during x-ray imaging, surgical planning software is able automatically find the x-ray marker in the image, calculate the x-ray magnification factor, and determine the true size of the anatomy in question. This helps to ensure that the appropriate prosthetic is selected before surgery.

The OM-1012 can be used with all orthopedic and veterinary surgical templating software.
