Mechanical Suction Power
The OM-1004 is designed for environments where standard suction just isn’t enough. By using a twist-action mechanism, this mount generates a powerful vacuum seal that holds firm on smooth and slightly dimpled surfaces alike. It provides the same 24″ of fully adjustable reach as our flagship model, ensuring you can place your marker exactly where you need it.
Full Specifications
- Base type: 2.8″ twist-action suction cup
- Surface: Smooth, non-porous, and slightly textured surfaces
- Arm length: 24″
- Product weight: 12.5 oz
- Ball: 25.4 mm (1″) solid 316 stainless steel
- Warranty: 1 year against manufacturer defects
- Country of origin: Designed and assembled in the USA
Note: As with all rubberized mounting materials, we recommend periodic cleaning of both the suction cup and the mounting surface to maintain optimal grip and prevent surface residue. For best results, do not leave attached to surfaces long-term; suction will eventually dissipate.
Common Clinical Applications
- Complex Imaging Suites: Ideal for slightly textured or non-perfect surfaces where standard suction fails.
- High-Volume Radiology: Provides a more aggressive hold for fast-paced, high-throughput environments.
- Veterinary Imaging: Secure mounting on varied equipment surfaces in busy clinical settings.
Why a 25.4 mm Calibration Sphere?
Surgical templating software needs a known reference object in the image to calculate magnification. A 1-inch (25.4 mm) solid sphere is the standard because it presents the same diameter regardless of imaging angle — unlike a disc or coin, which can appear elliptical if tilted. Position it at the anatomical plane of the joint, and the software does the rest.
Why Choose OrthoMark?
OrthoMark has been the trusted name in surgical magnification markers for over 20 years. Our commitment to solid 316 stainless steel calibration spheres and durable, American-made mounts ensures that your templating software receives an undistorted, reliable reference every single time, regardless of the environment.
Need a Different Mount?
Every OrthoMark uses the same 25.4 mm calibration ball and adjustable arm. If you need a different mounting method, we have a solution for every X-ray room:
