Frequent weight checks of frail, handicapped, and elderly patients can be a tremendous, time-consuming task without the proper equipment. Detecto simplifies that job with a selection of innovatively designed chair scales. Developed to ensure patient safety and comfort as well as to reduce weighing time, Detecto chair scales are conveniently portable and offer easy side or front access for your special patients. The arms raise easily on both models, so the patient can be conveniently assisted into and out of the chair scale. Mechanical chair scales are available in pounds or pounds/kilos models. Readable from the front and back. Black vinyl upholstery is complemented by the metal supporting structure.
