Recumbent length is the measurement that drives growth charting in the first two years, and it only works if the head and the feet are held square. The seca 207 gives a fixed head piece and a smooth sliding foot positioner so one clinician can hold the position and read the result.
It can be screwed to a changing table or a wall, or simply laid on a flat surface and used as a mobile rod, which makes it workable for child health nurses seeing families at home. The calipers fold flat for storage and transport.
The body is aluminium and the printed scale is tear resistant, so the graduations stay legible after years of wiping down.
