Stadiometers and Weighing Scales (height and weight) |
|
|
Top of the line Stadiometers and Weighing Scales to measure height and weight to a high degree of accuracy. |
SphygmoCor (central blood pressure and arterial stiffness measurement) |
|
|
SphygmoCor® technology is used clinically for central arterial pressure waveform analysis to better inform blood pressure management. |
Bodystat Bioelectrical Impedance Monitor (body composition) |
|
|
The Bodystat Bioelectrical Impendance Monitor measures body composition by sending a low, safe electrical current through the body. The current passes freely through the fluids contained in muscle tissue, but encounters difficulty/resistance when it passes through fat tissue. This resistance of the fat tissue to the current is termed 'bioelectrical impedance', and is accurately measured by the bodystat machine. |
Holtain Skinfold Calipers (skinfold thickness) |
|
|
The Holtain Skinfold Calipers instrument has been specifically designed for the accurate measurement of subcutaneous tissue. |
