Description

The Detecto Mechanical Chair Scale is designed with patients in mind; it adds the comfort of a chair to patients who have difficulty with standing to be weighed, such as elderly, disabled, and dialysis patients. It is ideal for use in clinics, hospitals, and physician offices.

Warranty: 2 Years - Free from Defects in Material and Workmanship.

Use lift-away armrests and the fold-up footrest for easy patient access from a wheelchair or hospital bed into the scales' plastic-molded seating laterally from either direction.

Frequent weight and BMI measurements of frail, handicapped, elderly, and dialysis patients can be a tremendous time-consuming task without the proper equipment. Detecto simplifies the task with a selection of innovative USA-made mechanical chair scales with wheels. The 475 and 4751 both have quality steel construction that is apparent throughout the scale, especially in the heavy-duty under-structure which is designed for optimal strength and patient safety.
