Clinical Application
Designed for external pelvimetry, this instrument is used to measure linear pelvic dimensions in obstetric and gynecologic evaluation and perioperative planning. Common clinical uses include assessment of pelvic inlet and outlet approximations, interspinous and intertuberous distances, and other external landmarks to inform delivery management, surgical approach selection, and preoperative templating.
Design & Configuration
The caliper-style geometry with sliding arms provides a straightforward, low-profile method to span pelvic landmarks and read linear distances directly from an integrated cm/inch scale. A 34 cm maximum span accommodates the range of adult pelvic measurements, while the dual-unit graduation (centimeters and inches) supports use in settings that prefer metric or imperial units. The sliding-arm configuration yields quick adjustment and direct visual readout for rapid clinical assessment at the bedside, in the clinic, or in the operating room.
