The determining characteristic of a C-gauge, as compared to other types serving similar functions (A-gauge, U-gauge, etc.) is the ratio of depth to width of the C-shaped frame. (A-gauges can measure wider parts but with less precision, U-gauges have limited depth but are more precise, C-gauges are most-suitable for parts of circular cross-section).
Asker's link shows an adjustable C-gauge, this link https://www.ypg-ltd.com/adjustable-snap-gauges/c-type/ shows a more rudimentary model.

'C-gauge', is the name given to a 'class' of measuring instruments and as such are available in numerous configurations. They are used in many industries and there's no reason why they shouldn't be used in dentistry.
