Holtain-Kahn Abdominal Caliper

The Holtain-Kahn Abdominal Caliper is a specialized anthropometric instrument developed for the precise measurement of sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) in the supine position. This measurement is widely recognized as an important indicator of visceral fat accumulation, helping healthcare professionals evaluate obesity-related and cardiovascular health risks.

Designed for accuracy and ease of use, the caliper provides a direct measurement of the distance between the subject's back and the front of the abdomen. An integrated spirit level ensures that every measurement is taken vertically, improving consistency and minimizing operator error. Its ergonomic design delivers reliable, repeatable results suitable for routine clinical assessments and research studies.

The Holtain-Kahn Abdominal Caliper is extensively used in hospitals, obesity clinics, cardiovascular research centers, universities, and public health institutions. It is an essential tool for body composition analysis, metabolic health assessment, and anthropometric research, providing healthcare professionals with dependable measurements for monitoring abdominal obesity and associated health risks.
