Precision and Reliability: The Legacy of Detecto

Detecto’s legacy began at the turn of the 20th century in Brooklyn, New York, where three enterprising brothers, immigrants with a passion for precision, set out to build high-quality foodservice scales. The Jacobs Brothers quickly earned a reputation for expert craftsmanship and reliable repair work, establishing a foundation of trust in the weighing industry. Their dedication to precision helped Detecto grow from a small workshop into a brand synonymous with accuracy. In 1950, a strategic merger with Cardinal Scale broadened Detecto’s capabilities and reach. This expansion allowed the company to move into the medical sector where precision weighing is essential. Today, Detecto is known not just for its heritage but also for its ongoing commitment to quality and technological innovation.

Revolutionizing Patient Care: Detecto In-Bed Scales

In today’s healthcare environment, patient comfort and safety are paramount. In-bed scales have emerged as a critical solution for the accurate weighing of patients who are unable to stand or be moved easily. Traditional weighing methods can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and potentially risky for both patients and caregivers. In-bed scales simplify this process. They allow patients to be weighed right in their beds without discomfort or disruption to care routines.

Detecto’s In-Bed Scale stands at the forefront of this innovation. It is designed with a hydraulic lift system that makes the weighing process effortless and safe. An EMR/EHR-ready weight indicator facilitates seamless digital recordkeeping. The scale also includes an adjustable arm, a user-friendly keypad, locking rear casters for mobility and safety, and a rugged steel frame built to withstand demanding healthcare environments. Manufactured in the USA, this in-bed scale reflects Detecto’s commitment to quality, comfort, and clinical efficiency.
