TALC MUAC Tapes - Grid
View / Tape
Measure
TALC can now supply the mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) tape in two styles.
Both style tapes are used to assess malnutrition by measuring mid upper arm
circumference. They are colour coded for children aged 6 months - 5 years
with severe acute malnutrition cut off at 115cm and can also be used for pregnant
women and adults in development situations (including HIV/AIDS) and famine
situations.
The original tape, of which TALC has supplied over half a million, is made
from Tyvek plastic and the measurements are marked in a grid of boxes which
can be easily read through the window in the tape. This style is ideal for
those less familiar with using a tape measure. The newer tape is made from
PolyArt plastic and has the measurements in a tape measure style.

grid view tape or new
tape measure style.
