Importance of Wheelchair Scales
Accurate patient weight is vital for personalised healthcare, especially for wheelchair users and those with balance issues. Traditional scales can be challenging and inaccurate in these cases. NUWEIGH's wheelchair scales provide a safe and comfortable solution, allowing patients to remain seated during weighing.
This precise measurement is crucial for monitoring health conditions, determining appropriate medication dosages, and conducting thorough health assessments. BMI calculation further contributes to a comprehensive picture of a patient's health. NUWEIGH's wheelchair scales empower healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional, individualised care.

Choosing the Right Wheelchair Scale
Obtaining accurate weight measurements for wheelchair users is crucial in healthcare settings. NUWEIGH understands this challenge and is here to guide you in selecting the ideal wheelchair scale for your needs. Here are some key factors to consider:
Accuracy and Features:
- Shaking Patients Tare Function: Look for a scale with a tare function. This function automatically deducts the weight of the wheelchair for precise patient readings, particularly beneficial for unsteady or shaking patients.
- Digital Display: A large, clear digital display ensures patients and healthcare professionals can easily read the weight measurement, minimising potential errors. Features such as our scale BMI function also provide a more comprehensive picture of a patient's health.
Durability and Safety:
- Sturdy Construction: A high-quality wheelchair scale should be durable with a powder-coated finish to withstand frequent use and support a wide range of weight capacities.
- Integrated Ramps: Opt for a scale with integrated, low-profile ramps for safe and smooth patient transfer onto the platform. This eliminates the need for separate ramps and enhances stability.
Usability and Convenience:
- Portability: Consider your needs. If portability is essential for moving the scale within your facility or home, choose a lightweight and easy-to-manoeuvre model.
- Power Options: Scales with AC power adapters and battery backup options provide flexibility and ensure reliable operation in any setting.
