SPREADING CALIPERS- GPM SWISS MADE

The Spreading Caliper with rounded ends (#106/108) provides accurate measurement of short distances between two points. The ends of the spreading branches are rounded for the patient's comfort, as opposed to the Spreading Caliper with pointed ends (#107/109), where one or both points may not be on a flat surface. The Caliper is manufactured from chrome plated steel and most commonly used for craniometry and cephalometry. Hinged at the base, the two curved branches with rounded ends are connected by a pivotal ruler (millimeter scale intervals). The branches can be immobilized in any position by a screw located on the slider which guides the ruler. The ruler gives the precise distance between the two points over which the measurement has been taken.
