Handheld body-fat caliper
The MEDca caliper is a handheld skinfold tool built for adults who want to track body-composition changes at home. Its spring-loaded jaws apply consistent pressure while a clearly marked scale runs up to 80 mm. The device targets four standard sites — biceps, triceps, subscapular and suprailiac — so users can monitor progress without visiting a clinic or gym.
Mechanical operation and feel
A built-in spring mechanism delivers repeatable tension during each pinch, reducing the variability that comes from hand pressure alone. The tool has no motor, electronics or batteries, so it runs silently and draws no power. Its all-mechanical design means there are no thermal concerns and no calibration drift from temperature changes.
Guide and reference chart included
The package supplies an instructional guide plus a body-fat reference chart for men and women. Together they walk the user through site location, pinch technique and result interpretation so measurements translate into actionable tracking data. No additional software, apps or accessories are required or provided.

Questions about this item
How do I use the spring-loaded caliper to get a consistent skinfold reading at the 80 mm scale?
Pinch the skinfold at a standard site such as the triceps or suprailiac, place the jaws around the fold, and let the spring close them fully before reading the millimetre mark.
What upkeep will the caliper and its included chart need over time?
Wipe the jaws and scale with a dry cloth after each use, store the guide and chart flat to avoid creases, and check occasionally that the spring still closes the jaws evenly.
At what point does the 80 mm scale stop being useful during a measurement session?
The scale tops out at 80 mm, so any skinfold thicker than that cannot be read on this tool and would require a different method.
