Head circumference is measured at every well child check, and a tape that has been round one infant’s head should not go round the next. The seca 211 is a single use paper tape, supplied with a small wall dispenser that releases one tape at a time and mounts anywhere in the room.
The paper is weighted so the tape is strong enough to pull firm around the head and light enough to tear cleanly from the dispenser. Markings are large and high contrast, with a reading aid at the measurement point, so the number can be read without guesswork.
Used tapes are recyclable, and refilling the dispenser takes a moment. This pack covers a long stretch of clinic days before anyone has to think about it again.
