Baseline Medical Skinfold Caliper

Specifications For many professionals a Lange fat caliper is the definitive instrument for measuring skinfold thickness. It allows you to add additional insight into your overall body health, versus just using a scale. Skinfold thickness helps to determine body fat percentage. The caliper is made of a lightweight aluminum, making it more malleable than steel and stronger than plastic. It is also corrosion resistant, prolonging the instrument's life. It features spring-loaded arms, providing constant pressure of 10gm/sq mm over the operating range. The device is easy to read, as the face area is 30 sq mm and houses a needle indicator accurate up to +/- 1mm. Floating tips are able to adjust to enable parallel measurement of skinfolds. Instructions are included for how to measure body fat.
