ABSTRACT:
A novel apparatus and method for using the same is disclosed for determining the height and volume of a hematoma structure on the skin surface and for further determining the depth and area of a wound, particularly a crater-type wound on the skin's surface. The apparatus is primarily constructed with a first elongated member having incremental markings thereon and a second member having four radially outward extending arms with incremental markings thereon throughout the length of the radially extending arms where adjacent arms are disposed at 90 degrees angles from one another and a first and second member engaged one to the other and disposed perpendicularly. One embodiment of the invention is constructed of a single member comprising four flat, radially extending arms with incremental markings throughout the length of the arm and where the adjacent arms are disposed 90 degrees from one another. This embodiment of the invention is particularly suitable for measuring the height and volume of the hematoma structure.
