Detecto Medical Scales & Equipment

Detecto has been a trusted name in weighing equipment for over a century, and clinics, hospitals, and home health providers rely on the brand for accurate, durable scales that hold up to daily use. This collection brings together Detecto's physician scales, floor scales, and the accessories that keep them running.

The choice between a balance beam and a digital display usually comes down to workflow. Analog column scales like the Detecto 448 and the white 439 pair a mechanical beam with a built-in height rod—no batteries, no calibration drift, and the kind of reliability that makes them a fixture in exam rooms. When you need fast digital readings, the DR400C floor scale offers a low-profile step-on platform with a 400 lb. capacity, while the 6856 bariatric floor scale extends that capacity to 800 lbs. on a wide 24" x 24" platform for patients who need a stable, roomy surface.

Capacity, platform size, and display type are the questions worth settling before you buy. Standard physician scales cover most adult weighing at 400 lbs.; bariatric models are essential where higher weight limits and a larger footprint matter for patient safety and dignity. Both AC-adapter and battery operation are common on the digital units, so consider whether the scale lives in one spot or needs to move between rooms.

Keeping equipment in service is part of the picture too. This collection carries genuine Detecto parts, including the 6800-1045 AC adapter compatible with PZ, AP, APEX, APS, RP, EB, 750, and 758C series scales, and 3PWHL caster wheels for Eye Level 8430 series column scales—so a worn part doesn't sideline a working scale. You'll also find practical facility items like the P-24R hands-free step-on trash can for infection-conscious spaces.
