A wall mounted measuring rod is the tidiest way to record standing height in a room that gets used for everything else. The seca 216 fixes to the wall, stays out of the way, and pulls down its head piece when a measurement is needed.
The measuring range is selectable at installation, so the rod can be hung at the right height for the population using the room, whether that is a paediatric clinic, a school health service or a general practice seeing adults. Graduations are fine enough for growth tracking across visits.
It is light, takes up no floor space and has nothing to set up before each patient, which is why it tends to be the unit that actually gets used.
