Lafayette Instruments 01296 Abdominal Caliper
INTRODUCTION
The Lafayette Abdominal Caliper aids the measurement of sagittal abdominal diameter. Studies have shown that the measurement of sagittal abdominal diameter to be more useful than traditional waist circumference measurements. Sagittal abdominal diameter is highly correlated with the volume of visceral fat and a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease.
Measurement Range
Range: 65 – 500 mm
Usage
The subject is asked to lie down on an exam table or hospital bed in a supine
position. The base of the caliper is placed under the subject’s back and the
measurement arm is placed on top of the subject’s abdomen giving a direct
reading of the distance between the two points.
Note: The Caliper must be read from the top of the measurement arm where
the red line is drawn.
Leveling
The Abdominal Caliper has a built-in level. If you desire to use the level,
the bubble must be perpendicular to the measurement arm. The bulb can be
removed by carefully sliding upward. Turn the bulb and slide it back onto the
measurement bulb as shown at left.
Note: We recommend storing the bulb in a position flat against the
caliper.
