Mobile clinicians who measure infants and young children in homes, community clinics or outreach rooms need a board that travels well and still measures properly. The seca 417 folds flat for storage and transport, and the head piece and guided foot stop hold the child in position while you read the length.
The foot stop is removable and runs on rails, so it moves smoothly and stays aligned with the printed scale. The large scale markings are easy to read at arm’s length. Surfaces are smooth throughout, which makes wipe down between children quick, and the folding mechanism is built for repeated daily use.
It is a sensible choice for maternal and child health nurses, paediatric physios and any service running growth checks away from a fixed clinic room.
