Portion & Dietary Scales

When it comes to measuring smaller items, the same scales that you use for weighing your patients just will not do. Instead, you need medical portion scales, which can accurately determine the weight of tiny objects in ounces or grams for a precise measurement. Top loading portion scales are particularly important for patients with special dietary needs. Nutritionists and attendants can weigh the appropriate amount of food or liquid required.
Universal Medical offers a fine selection of medical portion scales that can serve multiple purposes. Choose one of our digital portion scales, powered by AC or battery, based upon its weight capabilities, which range from 70 oz to 20 lbs. When you measure liquids, we recommend using one of our digital wet diaper/lap sponge scales to assist you in determining the fluid output. These come with a removable stainless steel tray that is simple to clean: a must to maintain sanitation in a nursery setting.
Our top-loading portion scales are angled for optimal viewing. These can be purchased with an enamel finish or constructed in stainless steel for extra durability. Also popular are our medical autopsy scales. The stainless steel construction provides a clean, clinical appearance for the pan, which can hold up to 32 lbs. This autopsy scale includes Detecto’s Thermolastic springs which prevent the temperature from altering weight figures.
