Heavy-duty, yet lightweight, the 6855 bariatric scale has a balanced design which makes it easy to move. The 6855 medical scale is engineered specifically for weighing obese and unsteady patients and features a 18" x 14" (457 mm x 356 mm), low-profile platform with non-skid surface and sturdy handrails with padded grips. The display "hold" feature retains weight so you can attend to the patient first, then record the weight. Powered by your choice of either batteries or AC adapter, the 6855 medical scales also have an auto-off function to conserve energy. Ideal bariatric scales for hospitals or private practices.
