Fat-1 Skinfold caliper

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

This device allows a correct evaluation of the nutritional status and the sectoral distribution of adipose tissue. Raises a fold of skin and measures its thickness by the forceps: on the top edge a scale in millimeters and an arrow measures the skin fold (triceps, subscapular muscles, etc...) with an accuracy of about ½ mm.
