Wall-Mounted and Portable Stature Measurement
A stature meter is a vertical measuring instrument used to record standing height. The VM-HM2 is a compact 2-metre stature meter with a measuring range of 0 to 200cm, designed for adults and older children. It can be used wall-mounted or as a handheld portable instrument, and its range covers the full height spectrum encountered in clinical adult practice. The lightweight design suits schools, occupational health screenings, GP practices and community health outreach.
Clinical Uses and Settings
Accurate height measurement is fundamental to calculating body mass index (BMI), dosing medications by body surface area, assessing growth in adolescents and documenting baseline anthropometric data. The VM-HM2 suits any setting where a dedicated stadiometer is not available or portable measurement is required, including outpatient clinics, occupational health assessments and community nursing visits. Clear graduation markings allow rapid, accurate reading of height to the nearest centimetre.
Quality, Portability and Deployment
The VM-HM2 carries CE and ISO quality certification, meeting the measurement accuracy standards required for clinical anthropometric assessment. Its lightweight, portable construction allows transport in a standard equipment bag. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the VM-HM2 suits hospitals, clinics, schools, occupational health services and community nursing teams that need an affordable, portable way to record standing height.
