Choosing the Correct Type of Medical Scale for Your Facility

Medical scales are an essential piece of equipment to every health and medical facility.[/b] Although they are often met with resistance, doctors are generally required to measure a patients weight whether it is to determine dosages or to track weight gain/loss. There are various types of medical scales,  however, and it is important to choose the right one(s).

QuickMedical carries a diverse selection of medical scales ranging from traditional bathroom and doctor's scales to digital bariatric and wheelchair scales. Knowing the benefits and differences will ensure convenience and efficiency for all parties involved.

What type of professional medical scale should you choose for your facility?

Balance Beam Scale
Known as the traditional "doctor's scale", the beam scale is made to withstand everyday use. They are available in standard and high capacity models with some including the option for measuring height.

Baby Scale
Tracking the growth of babies is important for health and well-being. Ideal for both professional and home users, baby scales are not only made for infants, but also toddlers and small children.

Wheelchair Scale
While the name suggests they only cater to a specific user, many wheelchair scales function as excellent multi-purpose scales and accomodate nearly all patients. They feature a larger platform and sit low to the ground making it easily accessible. Wheelchair scales are ideal for clinics and hospitals and especially nursing homes.

Bariatric Scale
Many bariatric, or high capacity scales, incorporate similar features of wheelchair scales and can often accomodate both types of users. Other forms of bariatric scales, though, are made up of handrails to assist the patient when standing. High capacity scales are an excellent choice for medical professionals as they can measure weight for all patients.

National Nurses Week 2013

Registered nurses, also called RNs, are professional nurses who often supervise the tasks performed by LPNs, orderlies, and nursing assistants. They provide direct care and make decisions regarding the care for healthy, ill, and injured people. They have a diploma, associate degree, bachelor's degree, or master's degree in nursing at entry level, and after passing state board examinations, are granted the title registered nurse. Regardless of degree, RNs have many hours of clinical experience before graduating. Nurses use medical equipment and supplies all day. Nurses need to use the highest quality medical equipment and supplies. QuickMedical is your online source for medical equipment and supplies for nurses.

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, the birthday of Florence Nightingale. National Nurses Week is an important time to recognize the accomplishments and work of nurses across the nation. It's also an important time to remember there is actually a shortage of nurses.

There's no shortage at QuickMedical of medical equipment and supplies for nurses, however. Nurses from around the world choose QuickMedical for the medical equipment and supplies they need.
