Sklar Martin Pelvimeter

The Sklar Martin Pelvimeter is a caliper style instrument used in obstetrics to take external measurements of the maternal pelvis, information that can contribute to the clinical assessment of whether a vaginal delivery is likely to proceed without difficulty due to pelvic size or shape. By placing the instrument's arms against specific bony landmarks, the clinician obtains measurements that are recorded alongside other clinical findings when planning the mode and management of delivery.

While imaging and clinical assessment have become the dominant tools in modern obstetric practice, pelvimeters of this type remain part of some obstetric units' equipment, particularly where external pelvimetry is still used as a supplementary assessment. Obstetricians, midwives and labour ward staff would be the primary users of an instrument like this in maternity settings.

This listing is a single configuration rather than a range of sizes. As a reusable metal instrument used near the patient, it should be cleaned and, where indicated, sterilised or disinfected between uses according to the unit's protocol.
