HomeLong-Term Care
In long-term care (LTC) facilities, clinical measurement devices are important for preemptive risk management and maintaining quality of life.
For the elderly and medically fragile population, conditions like malnutrition, fluid imbalances, and sarcopenia are the leading causes of falls, re-hospitalization, and functional decline.
Specialized devices are needed to measure such patients, providing care teams with objective data to flag potentially high-risk conditions before they become emergencies.
What measurement tools are needed in long-term care?
- Weight Scales: Increase / decrease of weight is important indicator of change
- Body Composition Analyzers: Identify cause of weight change in more detail, or identify conditions where weight is stable but body composition is changing positively or negatively.
- Grip Dynamometers: Measure functional strength, which is closely correlated to risk of falling.
MS5461
The OIML-certified MS5461 compact wheelchair scale is specially designed for patients that have difficulty standing. The remote display can be placed at the side or rear of the chair as needed, allowing for the simple and precise weighing of patients.
The MS5461 features collapsible folding frames for easy transportation, and can be assembled easily by one person without tools.
(NOTE: The device is NOT a wheelchair, and should not be pushed when patient is sitting in seat).

MS5470
The Charder MS5470 heavy duty digital chair scale is designed to safely weigh patients that have difficulty standing unassisted. It is intended to be pushed directly into patient rooms, so patients do not need to walk to weighing stations. After completing a round of measurements (up to 100 stored), results can be transmitted wirelessly to PC, making the MS5470 an excellent option for integration with EMR systems.
Features push handles for ease of transportation and four swiveling wheels with brakes, for safety during measurement.

MS3830
The high-capacity MS3830 wheelchair scale is portable and easily transported on rolling casters. Optional handrails can be attached for added stability. The low-profile ramp leads to a non-slip platform designed specially for patients with difficulty standing.
By taring the weight of the wheelchair, a patient's exact weight can be accurately measured.

MHS2710
The MHS2710 digital lift scale is specially designed to be installed between the spread bar and sling of a patient lift, compatible with a variety of different systems. Featuring a rechargeable lithium battery cartridge and wireless data transmission for improved workflow, the MHS2710 is a completely self-contained instrument designed to be operated quickly and easily.
MS2580
The MS2580 medical handrail scale's low-profile, anti-slip platform, handrails, and high capacity makes it an ideal measurement station for patients who need additional support while standing.
The platform is reinforced and wide enough to accommodate a chair for patients who cannot stand, and the ultrasonic stadiometer automatically measures height in seconds, simplifying the BMI calculation process.
Despite the large platform, the MS2580 can be easily transported using the built-in castor wheels, and powered by rechargeable batteries when needed.
Measurement data can be exported wirelessly with a single button press to compatible EMR systems, simplifying workflow for medical staff.

MS6000
The OIML-certified MS6000 Digital Bed Scale provides medical-grade accuracy of bedridden patients, and is an indispensable part of dialysis and intensive care.
Two portable beam scales are placed next to the castors of the bed, and the bed is rolled onto the scale. The previously determined weight of the bed is tared and the patient's exact weight can thus be accurately determined.
In addition, the MS6000 can be left under the patient's bed to closely monitor the weight of a patient within a set range. If the patient's weight fluctuates outside of that range, an alarm will beep to alert medical staff."

MS2350
The heavy-duty MS2350 portable wheelchair scale is foldable, mobile, and space-saving. The low profile ramp can be folded up when not in use, and can be accessed from either direction.
MG4800
The MG4800 medical handgrip dynamometer is specially designed for arm rehabilitation and evaluation. It's a great tool for therapists and rehabilitation trainers to aid in strengthening and training the muscles in the hand and arm.
The dynamometer can be adjusted to different levels of resistance for different individuals. Three modes are available, measuring maximum grip strength, average grip strength, or number of repetitions that meet the selected minimum grip force.
