FAT-1 SKINFOLD CALIPER
Economic but precise and accurate skinfold caliper for professional use.
Measures the thickness of skin folds over the body, based on the characteristics developed by Tanner and Whitehouse:
- pressure on the fold: approx 10 g/mm2
- contact surface on the fold: approx 6x11 mm
It allows a correct evaluation of the nutritional status and the sectoral distribution of adipose tissue.
Raise a fold of skin with your fingers and measure its thickness by the forceps (max opening 4 cm): on the top edge a scale in millimeters and an arrow measure the skin fold (triceps, subscapular muscles, etc...) with an accuracy of about ±2 mm.
The coloured bands placed near the scale allow a simultaneous comparison of the measured value with referential percentages related to men and women.
