 The seca 664 Wheelchair Scale features a high capacity of 660 lbs which means that even heavy patients can beweighed with ease. Thanks to the extremely flat platform, the scale is easy for wheelchair-users to mount and theside barriers ensure maximum safety. The integrated pre-TARE-function determines the patient's net weight inseconds and a real advantage is its HOLD-function, which continues to display weight in large, easy-to-readfigures even after the scale is no longer loaded.
