Product Details
Mandibular length, mandibular angle, and maximum ramus height measurements used during forensic evaluation of skeletal remains require use of a Mandibulometer.
Mandibulometer gives masses of simultaneous measurements for measure of lengths and angles in the lower jaw.
Instrument description:
Base plate: The instrument consists of a horizontal, movable metal plate, on which the mandibule is placed and by means of which the length of the mandibule can be established. NEW version’s base plate with plaid scale (1mm grid) makes it much easier to read out values.
Pivot plate: Is mounted above this base plate with a tilt angel of 20° up to 160°. NEW version’s pivot plate has also a plaid scale (1mm grid) for easier adjusting the slider plate.
Slider plate: A slim, horizontal and height adjustable metal fence is placed at the front of the pivot plate in order to establish the height of the ramus.
Protractor: Attached on one side. It displays the angle between pivot and base plate enabling one to measure the degree to which the jaw can be opened.
Sheet gauge: The measure asymmetric distances. NEW version can store sheet gauge into the instrument itself.
NEW version is made up of aluminum and carbon fiber plastic to achieve an extremely lightweight robust instrument.
