DETECTO is the largest medical scale manufacturer in the US, and the flagship product from the beginning has been the company’s well-known physician scale. DETECTO’s traditional weigh beam eye-level design has been around for over 100 years, being used by doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals around the world. DETECTO has developed digital physician scale models to meet the demands of today’s medical world. DETECTO’s digital physician scales feature low, flat platforms, models with or without columns, and mechanical or digital stadiometers to comfortably measure, weigh, and calculate Body Mass Index in hospitals, clinics, and emergency care facilities. Most DETECTO physician scales offer easily-transportable platforms or column and base constructions that feature wheels to save space and bring the scales to the patients. The digital scales can transmit data easily via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Welch Allyn connectivity options to accurately preserve patient vital statistics. As an added bonus, most physician scale models are very easy to set up, so medical professionals don’t need to waste valuable time that could be devoted to patient care.
