The seca 213 Portable Stadiometer is a medical-grade height-measuring device designed specifically for healthcare professionals who need a reliable, mobile solution. Weighing only 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg), this lightweight plastic unit is ideal for use in schools, field clinics, and home health visits.
Key Features & Design
- Outstanding Portability: The measuring rod easily dismantles into several interlocking pieces that fit securely into the large floor plate for transport. It features an integrated handle and can even fit into a standard briefcase when disassembled.
- Tool-Free Assembly: No wall mounting or external fittings are required. The stadiometer stands independently on its stable floor plate, and a built-in wall spacer ensures the rod remains perfectly straight and stable during use.
- Precise Readouts: The rod includes a double-sided scale (imperial and metric) and a smooth-gliding measuring slide with large readout windows.
- Versatile Positioning: While primarily used for standing patients, the rod alone can be used to measure patients who are lying down.
