Medical tape measures tend to fall into two broad categories:
Body (anthropometric) tape measures are used to measure patients’ waist, hips, neck, chest, thigh circumference and a range of other measurements that inform a diagnosis and subsequent treatment procedures. They are typically designed to retract into a small plastic case for portability and ease of use, and are available in a range of lengths – including bariatric tapes which are longer than average (typically around 200cm-300cm compared to the standard 150cm) to accommodate abdominal obesity. Some body measuring tapes are colour-coded to indicate healthy and unhealthy body measurements, and an increasing number feature an integral BMI calculator.
Single-use, disposable tape measures are ideal when hygiene control is paramount – for example, preventing cross-infection by using a paper or see-through film ruler to measure the dimensions of a wound, including length and depth. This enables the most appropriate wound-care plan to be developed, including accurate assessment of the quantity of solution and the type of dressing required. Transparent film “bulls-eye” overlay guides are ideal for documenting the progression of wound closure.
Because of their softness and flexibility, disposable paper tape measures are used for baby measurements shortly after birth and during routine health and development reviews. As well as straight tapes, circumference tape is also available specifically for measuring the head.
