Treating and managing obesity has created a demand for bariatric equipment in recent years and the need for bariatric scales has increased significantly. Due to the nature of obesity, a bariatric patient may require special assistance from their healthcare providers and the equipment they use.

Manufacturers of bariatric scales have incorporated all that modern science and technology can provide in the design and construction of bariatric scales. Medical Supplies and Equipment Company has been working steadfastly to stay on top of these innovations in medical equipment technology and we now supply state-of-the-art bariatric scales.

The bariatric scales in our inventory have been tailored specifically to the needs of bariatric patients. The bariatric scales are built with heavy-duty components and extra-wide weighing platforms to conveniently accommodate the bariatric patient as well as provide accurate measurements. For the wheelchair-bound patient, we carry a number of bariatric wheelchair scales to choose from. We also carry bed scales for the bed-ridden patient.

Bariatric scales, as with all bariatric equipment, must be designed to meet the needs of the patient as well as the needs of the caregiver. Increased weight increases the risk of injury to the caregiver during patient handling and movement tasks. If a bariatric patient has mobility concerns, it would be in everyone's best interest to consider options in bariatric mobility products such as bariatric walkers, bariatric rollators, and bariatric wheelchairs. These items will ensure reliable and safe patient transportation while reducing the risk of potential injury to both patient and caregiver during such actions. Many of our bariatric scales also feature hand rails for extra support and balance once the mobility aid is removed.
