If you measure height away from a fixed clinic room, the seca 217 gives you a stadiometer you can take with you and still trust. It breaks down into parts that fit together again quickly, so school screening, home visits and community clinics all get the same standard of measurement as a wall-mounted rod.
The base plate gives the client a firm place to stand and the adjustable spacer holds the column steady against a wall without needing to drill or fit anything. A wide measuring slide reads cleanly, which matters when you are recording growth over time and small differences count.
It suits paediatric and allied health teams doing repeat anthropometry, and anyone who needs height for BMI or equipment prescription in a setting where nothing can be left behind. An adapter element is available if you want to run it alongside a flat scale.
