Medical chair scales are ideal for elderly and disabled patients who can be weighed easily in the comfort of the medical chairs. With these chair scales, patients can sit down while being weighed on the scale.

These scales can be mechanical or digital and companies like Marsden, Weylux and Seca provide great options.

For example, the Weylux 590 is a medical chair weigher with BMI functions. It is strong and durable on account of its frame being made of steel and a unitised steel base. Its display graphics are easy to read, it has swing away arms, folding foot rest, wheels for mobility and it’s also skid proof.

The Marsden MPDC-250 medical chair scale is a digital scale best for those who cannot stand up on a regular scale but do not need wheelchairs either. Its frame is made from steel making it strong and durable supporting a capacity of about 600 pounds. It comes with heavy duty wheels making it easy to move it from place to place and has additional features of swinging arms, sanitary cushion seat and a folding foot rest.

The Seca brand of medical scales is top of the line scales used widely in the healthcare world, but do be wary of the generic non-branded models. The Seca 955 medical chair scale has a compact design and comes with many features such as skid proof wheels, swiveling arm rests and anti-contamination plastic seats to name a few.

There are many models in the market for chair scales but always keep in mind the functionality and durability in choosing good medical wheelchair scales.
