Clinical Application
This caliper is designed for direct measurement of pelvic dimensions and related anthropometric landmarks in obstetrics and gynecology. It is used to measure interspinous, intertrochanteric and inlet/outlet distances to assist in clinical assessment of pelvic capacity, preoperative planning, and documentation during labor evaluation or pelvic surgery. The 30 cm span accommodates a wide range of adult pelvic measurements without requiring multiple instruments.
Design & Configuration
The Collyer pattern uses a caliper geometry with opposed arms that permit precise span adjustment and repeatable placement on bony landmarks. The extended length provides improved reach and leverage for measurements taken across the pelvic brim or between widely separated anatomical points. A stable locking or adjustment mechanism and fine arm alignment minimize parallax and movement, improving measurement consistency in the clinical setting.
