Tanita Corporation, a leader in providing precision scales to the medical, nutritional, and healthcare industries, is offering several new hospital scales. Two of Tanita's new hospital scales, the 2450T Wheelchair Scale and the 2600 Large Wheelchair Scale, are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of long-term care professionals and patients. The scales feature increased portability from their lightweight, foldable designs, the capability to weigh wheelchair-bound patients, and safety features, such as sturdy handrails and low platforms.
       Tanita's new hospital scales will be available in July at price points ranging from $1,500 to $3,000. Tanita offers an attractive 36-month lease with two options for the last payment, either 10 percent of the cost of the scale or one dollar. This translates to roughly three dollars per day for Tanita's mid-priced scale. Tanita is also offering an increased warranty on its scales.

2450T Wheelchair Scale
       The lightweight and portable unit allows healthcare professionals to bring the scale anywhere the wheelchair-bound resident might reside. Designed for the busy medical professional, the 2450T can accommodate wheelchair widths from 21.5" to 29.75" yet folds down for easy portability. Standard features include auto tare, auto zero, and auto reweigh.

2600T Wheelchair Scale
       With an oversized folding ramp, the 2600T will accommodate extra wide bariatric wheelchairs, as well as geriatric recliners for larger patients. The scale's lightweight design and foldable 32" x 34" platform makes it ideal for acute and long-term healthcare facilities. Designed to fit through almost any doorway, the 2600T offers a weight capacity of 800 pounds. Standard features include auto tare, auto zero, and auto weigh.
