Hand, finger and joint measuring gauge

A gauge for determining numerous dimensions of a hand preparatory to constructing a compression glove for said hand to prevent and/or control hypertrophic scarring, said gauge comprising a flat panel including first and second long and short legs, respectively, disposed at right angles to each other in the plane of said panel and including corresponding included and excluded angle longitudinal side edges disposed generally normal to each other with said side edges of each leg generally paralleling each other, the excluded angle side edge of said long leg having first distance scale indicia spaced therealong from the excluded angle side edge of said short leg, the included angle side edge of said long leg having second distance scale indicia spaced therealong from the included angle side edge of said short leg, said long leg including a first V-shaped slot formed therein extending longitudinally thereof and opening lengthwise outwardly at its major width end through the end of said long leg remote from said short leg and between the corresponding ends of the side edges of said long leg, said long leg having circumference scale indicia spaced along said slot indicating, according to the width of said slot at a predetermined location therealong, the circumference of a finger joint having a width equal to the width of said slot at said predetermined location.
