The Baseline LiTE Hydraulic Pinch Gauge (22.6kg) is a professional hand evaluation instrument designed to measure pinch strength accurately and consistently during rehabilitation, functional assessments and strength testing. Suitable for physiotherapy practices, occupational therapy clinics, sports medicine facilities and rehabilitation centres, it provides reliable measurements for monitoring patient progress over time.
Its lightweight hydraulic design makes the gauge easier to handle during testing while maintaining dependable measurement accuracy. Unlike many conventional pinch gauges, the hydraulic system allows the clinician to support the instrument during assessment, helping reduce unwanted movement and improving the consistency of tip, key and palmar pinch tests.
The easy-to-read 63.5 mm analogue dial displays measurements in both kilograms and pounds, while the maximum reading remains visible until manually reset, making recording results simple and efficient during busy clinical assessments.
Manufactured in the USA and CE certified, the Baseline LiTE Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is designed to deliver repeatable results that are consistent with published Baseline and Jamar studies. Supplied with a protective carrying case and backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, it is a dependable solution for clinicians who require accurate hand strength evaluation in both clinical and rehabilitation environments.
