Pinch Gauge

Model 5030P1

The unique design of the Lafayette Hydraulic Pinch Gauge frees the client to perform a

true pinch pattern because the therapist, not the client, supports the weight of the gauge.

A highly accurate pinch-force measurement is the result. It measures pinch force up to 45

pounds. Kit includes instructions and carrying case.
