Weighing a baby and then measuring the baby are two chances for the child to unsettle. The seca 232 measuring rod fits onto the scale itself so both numbers come out of one handling, which is quicker for the clinician and kinder to the infant.
Head and foot positioners are built in, so the baby is held in the right posture while the reading is taken and the length is repeatable between staff members. Colour markings on the scale make the figure easy to pick out without leaning across the child.
The rod is aluminium with a scratch-resistant printed scale, and it fits on without tools once it is set up. It suits maternal and child health nurses, paediatric clinics and community teams tracking growth against percentile charts.
