Wheelchair Scales Weighing the Disabled

One of the major difficulties in hospitals and clinics is weighing the non-ambulatory. These patients, who range from the very ill to the elderly and overweight, need some citizen to move from a wheelchair to a scale, even a chair scale. In many cases, enthralling these unhealthy individuals is not advised, whether for their own condition and safety, or for the safety of the individuals who need to move them.

One of the best inventions of the 20th century, in terms of protecting inpatient and healthcare laborer safety, is the wheelchair scale. Even the most coarse model, built for use with any proper wheelchair, offers such options as eye-level readability for nursing staff, a dual-sided readout beam, a movable ramp for easy movement on and off the platform (and for use as a stand-alone scale), and an elective kit that converts the scale to work in tandem with existing Detecto scales.
