HATE Jameson Caliper v2 – 0–80 mm, Two-Jaw Design

The HATE surgical measuring caliper is a German-made surgical measuring caliper with two pointed measuring jaws, one fixed and one sliding, a 0–80 mm scale in 1 mm steps, a second scale in inches, and a locking thumbscrew. It measures and transfers distances quickly and accurately in plastic, facial, and breast surgery.

What Is the Jameson Caliper v2?

The v2 is a variation of the classic Jameson caliper with two open, pointed jaws: one fixed and one that slides with the scale. The open jaws make it easy to measure widths and thicknesses, such as the width of a graft or the distance between two marks, while the points allow precise marking on the skin.

The thumbscrew locks the slider so a measurement can be copied to the other side. The finger grooves on the underside of this surgical measuring caliper give a secure grip.

Why Choose a Surgical Measuring Caliper?

Accurate planning depends on accurate numbers. A surgical measuring caliper gives exact, repeatable measurements that can be checked during the operation and recorded in the patient file. Being made of stainless steel, it can be sterilized and used inside the surgical field, unlike paper rulers.

How to Use the Surgical Measuring Caliper

1. Loosen the thumbscrew and open the jaws.
2. Place the jaws on the points or edges to be measured and read the scale.
3. Tighten the screw to lock the measurement.
4. Transfer the measurement or mark the points with a skin marker.
