Those who are confined to a wheelchair need to monitor their weight regularly to ensure that they continue to remain as healthy as possible. Using a standard weighing scale or machine is not possible because it means leaving the wheelchair and standing upright for the weighing to be done. The Detecto Portable Digital Wheelchair Scale with Folding Column is a multi-purpose clinical scale for wheelchair weighing. For those who are able to leave the wheelchair, the curved handrail improves stability while standing. For those who must remain in the chair, the two-way built-in ramps make it easy to get on the machine and be weighed. An easy-to-use button or keypad system allows for the removal of the wheelchair weight so body weight can be accurately known. The Detecto Portable Digital Wheelchair Scale with Folding Column has a 1,000 lbs. capacity and operates on battery or AC power. There is also optional Wi-Fi for EMR/EHR. If you are a wheelchair user or are a care facility that requires the regular weighing of wheelchair users, this scale will make the process much easier and convenient for both patients and staff.
