DETECTO manufactures a complete line of high-quality wheelchair scales and chair scales.
Wheelchair Scales
Stationary, portable, and wall-mounted wheelchair scales can be utilized in a wide variety of healthcare settings. Most of these wheelchair scale models have extra-grip matting for patient safety and most scales have dual ramps for easy access from multiple directions.
Some stationary and portable wheelchair scales have handrails and seating to provide extra assurance to overweight or elderly patients when trying to gather a weight reading.
The digital scales offer EMR/EHR output of patient data for electronic recordkeeping. DETECTO’s portable scale models feature integral wheels and handles for easy transportation around clinical facilities.
Wheelchair scales can come in digital and weigh-beam options depending on the needs of the healthcare professional. All models are built to use with any standard-size wheelchairs (and some accommodate power wheelchairs) to provide the utmost in comfort, long-lasting durability, and easy portability for wheelchair-bound patients.
Chair Scales
Chair scales are a welcome addition to any healthcare facility when weighing patients that are frail, handicapped, on dialysis, or having mobility issues.
Chair scales can save a great deal of time and effort when a healthcare facility does not have the proper equipment for weighing the aforementioned patients.
Innovative designs can come with mechanical or digital weighing systems. The plastic-molded seats provide needed comfort for patients and certain models have lift-away armrests.
Chair scales can have footrests that fold up when not in use. Chair scales can also feature wheels that can easily transport the scales throughout a healthcare facility with minimal effort for weighing in multiple locations.
Models that come with digital indicators have a LOCK/RELEASE key to hold patient weights so that healthcare professionals can tend to patients first before recording their weight. Weight capacities can come in either 450 lb capacity or 440 lb/200 kg capacity.
