More Information

Calipers are widely used among medical professionals to measure a wide variety of instances where breadth must be tracked. A few examples include but are certainly not limited to tracking the growth and development of infants, tracking the amount of edema that presents after surgery or injury, or even measuring for inconsistencies in the symmetry of the body.

The Martin Breadth Caliper is designed with one arm that has an affixed scale and a second arm that moves along the scale to open the tips of the caliper around the part of the body being measured. The scale is marked in both centimeter and inches increments for accurate readings.

The calipers curve out just before the tips curve inward to allow an easy grip on the calipers that won’t block the view of where the calipers are being placed on the patient. The caliper is designed with enough tension in the hinge to allow the caliper to be moved away from the patient without losing the measurement that has been taken.
