A single-use tape measure is a flexible, manual device used in clinical settings to measure lengths longer than a standard ruler, such as the head circumference or body length of newborns. It is made of silk-coated paper with printed length markings in inches and/or millimeters and may include a writable area for recording patient information like name, sex, or date of birth.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one patient encounter and then discarded to prevent cross-contamination. These devices are non-electronic and do not contain drugs or active substances, and their regulation is based on their classification as low-risk, non-invasive tools used for measurement only.
