Medical scales are indispensable diagnostic and measuring devices in surgeries, clinics and therapeutic facilities. They serve to precisely determine body weight and thus support a wide range of medical applications. In this category you will find various types of scales tailored to different requirements, including flat scales, column scales, wheelchair scales and multifunctional measuring stations.
The choice of the right medical scale depends on the area of application and the needs of the users. Flat scales are particularly suitable for patients with limited mobility, whereas column scales enable comfortable and accurate weight measurement thanks to their integrated measuring column. Wheelchair scales are specially designed for patients in wheelchairs and offer a safe and easy weighing solution. Multifunctional scales and measuring stations often combine weight measurement with additional functions such as body fat analysis or height measurement.
Typical features of medical scales include a high load capacity, accurate weighing of up to 10'000 measurements, compact dimensions and a flexible power supply via batteries or a mains adapter. Many models feature an automatic switch-off with an activated HOLD mode to secure measurement results. The seca brand is particularly well known in this area for its reliable and durable products.
