Medical Weight Scales

Weight is an important measurement in healthcare and they usually measure it when you visit the doctor. Maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health and there is a significant effort to help teach people how to maintain a healthy weight. People that are overweight can have many health complications that limit activities and reduce length of life.

Being overweight can increase chances for the following:

• Cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, stroke, coronary artery diseases, and more)
• Cancer
• Type 2 diabetes
• Dyslipidemia
• Gallbladder disease
• Arthritis
• Sleep apnea and snoring

Medical scales are used by doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers to determine the weight of patients, materials, and medical waste. Medical scales are professional-grade devices that measure weight and other data points such as Body Mass Index. Many scales have a height rod to conveniently measure height while on the scale.

Medical scales have a range of features that include digital displays, EMR connectivity, antimicrobial capabilities, wheels for portability, and more.
