BeeBlıp
Bone measure, one step ahead.
BeeBlip sits on the drill you already hold. It reads the bone while you drill and shows you the length. No depth gauge, no second step.

A hook on a stick.
Push it through the hole, catch the far cortex, read the sleeve by eye, through blood, at an angle. Then pick a screw and hope.
>50% of depth-gauge readings are wrong.
accurate wrong length
Every hole, every plate, every case
The gauge goes in, a number is called out, a screw is chosen.
Thousands of times a day.
How it works
Try it. One joystick, a few screens.
The real menu of the device. Click the joystick or use the arrow keys; the note below follows the screen.
- ReadyThe home screen, with the plate offset and the battery.
- OffsetPlate thickness, once per case, −5 to +5 mm. The screen then gives the screw length.
- MenuLanguage, 180° rotation, memory.
- StabilizingHold steady a moment, then drill as usual.
- Near cortex · C1Detected as the bit passes it.
- Far cortex · C2The screw length, before the bit is out.
Anatomy of the device
Eighty grams that live on the drill, not in a tray.
- Your plate, your screws. Set the offset once and read screw lengths directly.
- A guide for every bit. One body, one guide per drill diameter.
- On its own, or built in. Use it standalone, or inside a manufacturer’s own drill guide.
- Any drill, any implant system. Nothing to buy, sterilise or service on the side.
Single joystick
Eye-safe sensor, reads as you drill

Side by side
Same hole, same screw. One step instead of four.
