Caliper

Calipers are precision measuring instruments used to obtain accurate anatomical measurements during medical, surgical, dental, and cosmetic procedures. Commonly utilized in plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and veterinary medicine, calipers allow practitioners to measure distances such as skin folds, soft tissue thickness, bone structures, and facial symmetry with high precision. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel or lightweight anodized aluminum, calipers are durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to sterilize. Available in a variety of types—including vernier calipers, spring calipers, digital calipers, and Castroviejo calipers—they are designed to accommodate both general and specialty applications. Many models feature fine-pointed tips, clear scale markings, and locking mechanisms to ensure consistent and repeatable measurements. Whether used for pre-surgical planning, intraoperative guidance, or post-operative assessment, calipers provide accuracy, control, and confidence for superior clinical outcomes. A staple in surgical kits, cosmetic practices, and dental laboratories, calipers are trusted worldwide for their measurement precision and versatility.
