Questions about medical scales

What are three types of scales used for measuring weight?

In hospitals and long-term care, the three most common are standing scales (platform, column or physician scales), wheelchair scales with ramps, and pediatric scales for newborns and toddlers. Height-and-weight stations add a height rod to a standing scale.

What is the best weighing machine for a hospital?

There is no single best model: it depends on your patients. Units with patients who cannot stand need a wheelchair scale, bariatric units need a 1,000 lb (450 kg) capacity, and maternity needs a neonatal scale. Tell us your unit and we suggest the models that fit.

Which medical scale is the most accurate?

Among the Befour models we carry, the adult scales read to 0.1 lb (0.05 kg) and the MX202 neonatal scale reads to 1 g up to 10,000 g (22 lb). For a precise reading, the patient should stand still; MotionLock settles the reading when they move.
