Clinical Application
Designed for external measurement of pelvic dimensions, this pelvimeter is used in obstetrics and gynecology to assess pelvic inlet and outlet diameters, interspinous and intercristal distances, and other external landmarks relevant to delivery management and surgical planning. It is a practical tool for preoperative assessment, labor evaluation, and intra‑departmental measurements where a reliable external caliper provides quick, repeatable data to inform clinical decisions.
Design & Configuration
The instrument uses two opposing arms arranged as a caliper to span pelvic landmarks. The 35 cm length provides sufficient reach for adult pelvic measurements while maintaining a compact profile for handling in clinical settings. An adjustable mechanism allows the arms to be positioned and retained at the required separation so measurements remain stable while being read or recorded. Blunt, rounded measuring tips reduce the risk of soft‑tissue trauma during external application and conform to typical palpation points used in obstetric assessment.
