Description
The Doran DS1125 Infant Measuring Rod measures infant length accurately wherever the baby is. It can be carried to the patient or mounted on a wall or pediatric examination table, which suits both nurseries and home visits. Precision engineered in heavy gauge aluminum, it gives length data to pair with the infant scale weights on the growth chart.
- Portable or Mountable – Bring the rod to the patient, or fix it to a wall or exam table for a permanent length station.
- 0 to 39 in Range – The full infant and toddler length span measures from birth on one rod.
- Fine 1/16 in Graduations – Sixteenth inch and 1 mm markings support precise growth tracking.
- Heavy Gauge Aluminum – The metal build holds its accuracy through daily handling and transport.
Infant Length Measurement That Goes to the Baby
The DS1125 rod measures 40.5 in long with a 10 in measurement arm that slides to the infant heel. Length is half the growth chart, and this rod captures it with the same rigor as the weight from an infant scale. Home visiting nurses can carry the rod with the scale, while clinics can mount it at the weighing table. Aluminum and ABS construction keeps the rod light enough to travel and rigid enough to read true. Paired with Doran growth charts, the rod completes a consistent length record from birth through toddler visits.

Why Choose the DS1125 for Infant Length
Tape measures stretch and two-person length boards are not always at hand, so infant length often becomes the softest number on the chart. The DS1125 gives one rigid rod for the job, portable or mounted, backed by a two year warranty.
- Consistent Length Data – A rigid sliding rod reads the same way at every visit, which makes growth trends trustworthy.
- Two Year Warranty – Doran covers the DS1125 for two years of clinical use.
- Works Anywhere – Carry it on visits or mount it in the nursery, which fits both care models.
