300kg Capacity Chair Scale for Non-Ambulant and Limited-Mobility Patients
The Micro A12 Digital Chair Scale (VM-SDC) is a clinical weighing solution specifically designed for patients who are unable to stand unsupported for conventional platform scale measurement — including frail elderly patients, those recovering from surgery or lower limb injury, patients with severe neurological or musculoskeletal conditions, and individuals requiring assisted transfer for all physical assessments. The chair scale format eliminates the need for the patient to bear weight on their legs or maintain balance during measurement, making it appropriate for use in frail care facilities, geriatric wards, rehabilitation units, oncology departments, and bariatric care settings where accurate body weight is clinically essential but standing is contraindicated or impractical. With a maximum capacity of 300kg and readability of 100g, the VM-SDC supports accurate weight monitoring across the full clinical weight range encountered in these settings.
Red LED Display and Dual Power Operation
The bright red LED indicator display provides clear, high-contrast weight readout that remains easily readable in varying ambient light conditions across clinical environments — including wards, consulting rooms, and frail care facilities. The indicator operates on both rechargeable battery and mains power, giving clinical users flexibility to position the scale independently of proximity to a power outlet for bedside or ward-round weighing, while the mains option supports extended use in a fixed weighing station without battery management requirements.
Mobility, Adjustability, and Clinical Practicality
Lockable castors allow the chair scale to be moved easily to the patient’s bedside or to a designated weighing area, then locked securely in place before the patient is transferred into the chair — preventing movement during transfer and measurement. Adjustable arms support patient transfer from wheelchair or bed and provide stability during weighing, while the adjustable footrest accommodates varying patient leg lengths and positions. Together these features support safe, dignified patient handling and reduce manual handling risk for clinical staff during the weighing process. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the VM-SDC is suited to hospitals, frail care facilities, rehabilitation centres, and any clinical setting requiring a reliable, manoeuvrable chair scale with a high safe capacity.
