Each unit is supplied with an individual deluxe case.
The most direct, simple, and accurate method for estimating leanness-fatness is measuring the thickness of skinfolds by constant-tension calipers. The Lange Skinfold Calipers manufactured by Beta Technology Inc., are specifically designed for the simple, accurate measurement of subcutaneous tissue. It incorporates the recommended principles for standardized usage in nutrition, fat distribution, child growth, anthropomorphic studies, and other applications.Pivoted tips adjust automatically for parallel measurement of skinfolds, and rectangular faces with well-rounded edges and corners assure patient comfort. The face area is approximately 30 square mm. An easy-to-read scale permits reading up to 60 mm. Accurate to +/- 1 mm. Spring-loaded levers provide a substantially constant standard pressure of 10 gm./sq. mm. over the entire operating range. All critical pivot points utilize low friction bearings to maintain accurate tip pressure at all jaw openings. The caliper is of sturdy, light-weight construction, and is anti-corrosive.
Skinfold measurements, especially when combined with limb circumferences, permit finer discrimination between soft tissue sites than is possible from inspection. Such discrimination is advantageous in diagnosing individual nutritional status.
