Bedside Patient Scales in South Africa
Available Bedside Patient Scales Models

A Bedside Patient Scale is a specialised weighing device designed for direct use at a patient's bedside, facilitating accurate and convenient weight measurement without the need for patient transfer. These scales are engineered with a robust, low-profile platform, often featuring integrated wheels for easy manoeuvrability within a clinical setting. Their primary function is to provide reliable and repeatable weight data, a critical vital sign for effective patient management and care, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those in critical condition. The design prioritises patient safety and comfort, typically incorporating features like anti-slip surfaces and optional handrails for stability during weighing. This immediate bedside accessibility streamlines workflows for nursing staff, ensuring timely data acquisition for crucial clinical decisions.

Accurate weight measurement is crucial for effective patient care across a wide spectrum of South African healthcare settings. Bedside patient scales are indispensable tools, providing immediate and reliable data at the point of care. This is particularly vital for monitoring patient progress, determining appropriate medication dosages, and managing fluid balance.

From large, tertiary teaching hospitals in major urban centres like Johannesburg and Cape Town to smaller district hospitals and specialised care facilities, the need for precise weight readings at the bedside remains consistent. The ability to weigh patients without the burden of moving them to a central weighing station significantly improves patient comfort and reduces the risk of falls or complications, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those who are critically ill.

Mid-range models, offering enhanced durability, higher precision, and sometimes integrated height rods, typically fall within the R8,000 to R15,000 bracket. For advanced, high-capacity, or feature-rich scales, particularly those designed for bariatric patients or clinical environments requiring extensive data logging and connectivity, prices can range from R15,000 upwards to R30,000 or more.
