FAT-1 PLICOMETER
FAT PLICOMETER -1

Inexpensive and accurate plicometer for professional use.

It measures the thickness of the skin folds in various districts of the body, according to the characteristics devised by Tanner and Whitehouse:
- pressure exerted on the skin fold: approx. 10 g/mm2
- contact surface on the fold: 6x11 mm approx.

This instrument gives an exact assessment of the nutritional status of the subject under examination and how its adipose tissue is distributed sectorially.

The user lifts a fold of skin between his or her fingers to measure its thickness (max. opening 4 cm) with the instrument's forceps: on the upper edge there is a scale in millimetres on which an arrow moves, immediately measuring the plica (tricipital, subscapular, etc.) to the nearest ± 2 mm.

Coloured bands inserted close to the scale allow the measured value to be compared with separate reference percentiles for men and women.

Supplied with user manual to assist in the interpretation of values.

Useful in dietetics, cardiology, sports medicine, aesthetic medicine, gynaecology, paediatrics, etc.

GIMA DIGITAL PLICOMETER
PROFESSIONAL PLICOMETER - 0-12 mm - digital - with USB cable for data transfer

High-precision instrument for measuring subcutaneous fat thickness and assessing the amount of total fat in a subject.

Possibility of recalibration
Built to international standards, the Gima plicometer is equipped with spring-loaded arms that exert a pressure of 10 g/mm2 on the skin fold and an accurate scale in mm for measuring fat thickness. The possibility of calibrating the pressure exerted eliminates problems due to loosening of the spring tension over time.

Easy to use and read
It comes with a digital display and a leaflet showing the correct positioning for data collection. A special table facilitates calculation of fat % and assessment of the patient's general condition from the data collected.

Elegant and user-friendly design
A special nylon finish prevents the patient from the discomfort of contact with metal. Supplied in an elegant wooden case (19x36xh 6 cm).

Manual in GB, FR, IT.

PC data management
Immediate data transfer to major programmes (Excel, Word, Open Office, etc.). Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, (service pack 2), 7, Vista. USB 2.0 minimum.

Made in Italy.

PLICOMETER 0-40 mm - mechanical
PROFESSIONAL PLICOMETER - 0-40 mm - mechanical

High-precision instrument for measuring subcutaneous fat thickness and assessing the amount of total fat in a subject.

Possibility of recalibration
Built according to international standards, the Gima plicometer is equipped with spring-loaded arms that exert a pressure of 10 g/mm2 on the skin fold and an accurate scale in mm for measuring fat thickness. The possibility of calibrating the pressure exerted eliminates problems due to loosening of the spring tension over time.

BODY FAT ANALYSER
Ideal for dieticians, gyms and sports centres, also perfect for home use. It allows you to know not only your ideal weight but also your nutritional health status. The GIMA Body Fat Analyser measures the flow of electrical signals (impedance or electrical resistance of the human body) through ADIPOSE, LEAN tissues (muscles, bones, organs) or WATER. When the amount of adipose, lean tissue or water changes, so does the signal
of body mass, thus providing a reliable and accurate measure of the proportion of each of these components in the total weight.
Specifically, four electrodes are applied to the metacarpals and metatarsals, with a current of 50 kHz. The signal level corresponds to the index of water mass and total fat mass. It only takes 2 minutes for this essential and very simple test. The procedure takes only 2 minutes and provides the same accuracy as other more expensive devices.

Lots of useful data:
- FAT MASS: real weight of the body's fat tissue
- LEAN MASS: actual weight of the lean tissues, mainly muscles and organs
- WATER: water level in the body
- % FATTY MASS: percentage of fat mass in relation to total weight
- % LEAN MASS: percentage of lean mass in relation to total weight
- Basal metabolism (BMR)
- Ideal weight: weight target under optimal conditions
- % ideal fat mass in relation to gender and age.
Its small size and light weight make it portable, so the test can be performed anywhere. The analyser helps you regain your shape and maintain it.
It allows you to maximise your ideal level of fitness, whether you want to lose weight, increase muscle mass, tone and trim or simply maintain your current shape:
- allows you to control the effectiveness of your diet programme by precisely establishing the origin of your weight loss (adipose tissue, organic or water)
- helps you monitor improvements in muscle mass as a result of physical exercise and/or diet
- establishes a basic parameter of your body composition so that you can regularly monitor your dietary or physical improvements over time

Frequent calibration is required for accurate results (27324 calibration kit).
