The Baseline Skinfold Caliper is used to measure the thickness of subcutaneous tissue, or "skinfolds". Once recorded, these measurements can be translated to body fat content as a percentage of body weight. It should be noted that these percentage figures vary with age and sex.
Lightweight and aluminum, the caliper has a large, easy-to-read scale that extends to 67 mm on each side. This feature facilitates left and right-handed clinicians to more easily use and read the caliper. The Skinfold Caliper comes in a protective carrying case. "Floating tips" at the ends assure accurate and reproducible results. Quick and simple to use.
