Halpern Calipers

Description

Halpern Calipers

Halpern calipers combine a circular gauge ring with a pair of marking legs. Each size gives one fixed diameter, so the Halpern calipers let you mark the same circle on both sides without measuring twice.

Marking a consistent circle

In aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, for example, surgeons often need a round outline of a set diameter. Center the ring, and then mark around it. Because each ring has one size, left and right match, which matters more to the result than any single number.

Choosing Halpern calipers

The listing offers 34, 38 and 42 mm sizes. Most surgeons pick the diameter that suits their usual patients and add a second size for flexibility. If you are unsure which sizes your team prefers, check the markers already in use before ordering.

Care

Clean the ring and legs after use, then dry and sterilize them to your protocol. Also check that the ring stays round, since a bent ring changes the size.
