Medical scale in use for professional body weight measurement

Buy medical scales: precise weighing technology for healthcare, care facilities and practices

Medical scales are used wherever body weight needs to be recorded reliably, safely and traceably. In doctor’s practices, clinics, hospitals, care facilities, rehabilitation centers, therapy facilities and midwifery practices, medical scales are part of the daily basic equipment.

In the ESSMANN scale shop, you will find professional medical personal scales, baby scales, bariatric scales, wheelchair scales and veterinary scales for different requirements in everyday medical use. Depending on the model, functions such as BMI calculation, tare function, hold function, large displays, stable platforms, non-slip stepping surfaces or verified versions support safe and convenient weight recording.

Which medical scale is suitable for which application?

Whether routine checks in the doctor’s practice, weight documentation in care, precise infant monitoring in pediatrics or barrier-free weighing in a wheelchair: Which medical scale is the right one depends on the area of use, the weighing range, the desired readability and possible requirements for verification or documentation.

Medical personal scales for practices, clinics and care facilities

Medical personal scales are suitable for fast and reliable weight checks for adults, adolescents and children. They are frequently used in doctor’s practices, specialist practices, clinics, nursing homes, therapy centers and occupational health facilities. Suitable models can be found in the category medical personal scales.

Bariatric scales for high capacity and secure footing

Bariatric scales are specially designed for weighing people with higher body weight. They feature particularly high weighing ranges, robust constructions and generous weighing platforms. Models with a low profile, handrails, separate display or especially large standing surface make use even easier. You can find a suitable selection under bariatric scales.

Baby scales for infants, newborns and small children

Baby scales are used wherever the weight of infants and small children needs to be checked precisely. Typical areas of use include pediatric practices, maternity wards, midwifery practices, breastfeeding consultations and care facilities. A good baby scale should measure precisely, be easy to clean and deliver reliable values even with restless babies. Suitable models can be found in the category baby scales.

Wheelchair scales for barrier-free weighing

Wheelchair scales enable weighing of people who cannot independently step onto a classic personal scale. Weight recording is carried out directly in the wheelchair – conveniently, safely and barrier-free. Large platforms, access ramps, stable constructions and tare functions make daily use easier. Suitable solutions can be found under wheelchair scales.

Veterinary scales for veterinary practices, clinics and animal care

Veterinary scales are used for weight checks of animals in veterinary practices, animal clinics, animal shelters, breeding facilities and care facilities. Depending on the size of the animal, compact small animal scales, platform scales or robust scales with a larger weighing surface are used. Suitable models can be found in the category veterinary scales.

What should you consider when buying a medical scale?

  • Weighing range: The maximum capacity should match the application, for example for personal scales, bariatric scales or wheelchair scales.
  • Readability: Readability is important for accurate weight checks, especially with baby scales and progress measurements.
  • Verification: In certain medical applications, a verified medical scale may be required.
  • Patient safety: Non-slip platforms, low step-on heights, handrails or access ramps increase safety.
  • Hygiene: Smooth surfaces and easy-to-clean materials are especially important in medical environments.
  • Ease of use: Large displays, simple key operation, hold function and tare function make daily use easier.
  • Documentation: Interfaces, printer options or digital data transmission can support regulated processes.

When do I need a verified medical scale?

A verified medical scale may be required when weight values are officially used, documented or used for treatments in a medical context. Which requirements apply depends on the specific area of use.

What is the difference between a personal scale and a bariatric scale?
