The Harpenden Neonatometer is designed to measure the length of an Infant to the nearest millimetre; it is specifically designed to be used without the subject having to be lifted from the surface on which they are lying.
The ball-bearing mounted carriage has an extremely free movement and is operated via a constant pressure lever, which automatically locks the carriage at the correct measuring point. This mechanism ensures reproducebility of measurement and effectively eliminates variation due to differing operator techniques.
Measuring range: Long, 188 mm to 750 mm. Short, 180 mm to 600 mm.
