Baseline Standard Hydraulic Pinch Gauge – 50 lb Capacity

The Baseline Standard Hydraulic Pinch Gauge is a professional clinical assessment tool used to measure finger pinch strength. It is commonly used in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, hand therapy, rehabilitation, hospitals, universities and clinical education settings.

This blue standard model measures pinch strength up to 50 lb / 23 kg and displays results on an easy-to-read analog gauge. In addition, the maximum reading remains visible until the clinician resets the unit, which makes it easier to record results between trials.

Designed for objective pinch strength testing

  • Measures pinch strength up to 50 lb / 23 kg
  • Used for tip pinch, key pinch and palmar pinch testing
  • Hydraulic design supports consistent clinical measurement
  • Maximum reading remains visible until reset
  • Analog gauge displays readings in pounds and kilograms
  • Protective carrying case included

Natural companion to a hand dynamometer

A hand dynamometer measures grip strength, while a pinch gauge measures pinch strength. Together, these tools give clinicians a more complete picture of hand function, recovery and progress during rehabilitation.

Clinical use note

Pinch strength testing should be performed by trained healthcare professionals using a consistent test position, finger placement and recording method. As a result, clinics can improve repeatability when comparing results over time.
