Q. I work in an endocrinology clinic and I've been instructed to find a stadiometer.
QuickMedical looks like it has the largest selection of stadiometers online, but because you have so many, I don't know which one to pick.I need a reliable stadiometer that can hang on the wall. The head piece has to be rigid, and it has to be digital and easy to calibrate.
The display should be easy to read for shorter nurses. (I'm only 5 foot!) We position the head in Frankfurt plane so the digital display has to be above the head, not mounted on the wall. We would prefer lithium batteries if possible.
We are measuring very short and very tall people so we need a model that can measure everyone from children to adults. We also need a kick plate for positioning the patient properly against the back of the stadiometer.
Can you please recommend a model that will meet all these needs?
Kind regards,
Nurse Mary
A. Thanks for writing, Nurse Mary. Yes, we have a model that will meet all these needs, and more. It's the Gold Standard in measuring devices--the 235A Heightronic Digital Stadiometer. Why is the 235A the gold standard?
The 235A is the only digital stadiometer with the calibration device you need, Nurse Mary. But not only that, the 235A is incredibly accurate and utilizes the same electronic capacitor sensor system scientists use for critical measurements in labs around the world. The Heightronic 235A is the Gold Standard stadiometer because any individual who can stand flat footed, against the wall, can be measured accurately. (For infants, not yet standing, your clinic should of course stick with specialized infant measuring devices.) The improved headpiece on the device is completely rigid. The large, digital display is read from the front of the patient, not the side or on a monitor, and this is important when using the Frankfurt plane.
