General-purpose calliper, metallic

Definition

A manually-operated metallic device with an analogue Vernier scale designed to make accurate measurements of a patient's anatomy, or of other objects, during surgery, autopsy, or in other clinical settings. It is intended to make external measurements (e.g., external diameter, thickness), internal measurements (e.g., internal diameter, depth), measure length, or make step measurements (i.e., from a larger edge to a lesser edge on an object). It is typically made of stainless steel or chrome-plated steel and can be sterilized in a steam sterilizer (an autoclave). This is a reusable device.
