Marsden M-310 Portable Baby Sling Scale

Ultra Lightweight and Exceptionally Portable

The Marsden M-310 has been specifically developed in response to long-standing feedback from healthcare professionals working in the community. Since supplying equipment to the NHS in the early 1970s, one of the most common challenges raised by midwives and health visitors has been the weight of baby scales when travelling between home visits. To address this need, Marsden introduced the highly popular M-310, a scale that prioritises portability without compromising accuracy or reliability.

Weighing just 0.45 kg, the M-310 is one of the lightest baby weighing solutions available, making it exceptionally easy to carry throughout a busy working day. Its minimal weight significantly reduces physical strain, particularly for professionals who are required to transport equipment frequently. This ultra-lightweight design has made the M-310 the scale of choice for many community-based midwives and health visitors who require a dependable solution that supports mobile working.

An optional carry case is available, further enhancing portability and ease of transport. When combined with the scale’s compact size, the M-310 can be comfortably carried alongside other essential equipment, ensuring professionals can move efficiently between appointments.

Designed Specifically for Community Use

The Marsden M-310 has been carefully designed to meet the practical demands of community healthcare. Recognising that weighing often takes place in patients’ homes rather than clinical settings, the scale is lightweight, compact, and quick to deploy. This makes it ideal for use in environments where space may be limited and speed is essential.

The optional CC-310 carry case has been designed with community professionals in mind. It allows all attachments, including the sling and hook, to be stored together in one secure and easy-to-carry holder. This helps ensure that no essential components are misplaced while travelling and that the scale is always ready for use. The carry case also features a convenient top strap, making it comfortable to carry by hand or over the shoulder.

This thoughtful approach to design supports efficient workflows and reduces setup time during visits. Whether moving between multiple homes or transporting equipment to clinics or health centres, the M-310 remains practical, protected, and easy to manage.

Simple and Intuitive Operation

Ease of use is a key reason the Marsden M-310 continues to be one of the best-selling models in the Marsden range. The scale features just three simple buttons and a clear, easy-to-read display, ensuring straightforward operation with minimal training required. This intuitive design allows healthcare professionals to focus on patient care rather than complex equipment.

The On/Off button provides full control of the device and helps manage battery life efficiently. The Hold function is particularly valuable when weighing active babies, as it captures and displays a stable reading even when movement is present. This reduces the need for repeated measurements, saving time and minimising disruption during assessments.

The Tare function allows the weight of slings, nappies, or clothing to be deducted easily, ensuring that only the baby’s true body weight is recorded. This improves accuracy while eliminating the need for manual calculations, supporting confident clinical assessments in both community and clinical environments.

Reliable Performance in Everyday Practice

Despite its lightweight construction, the Marsden M-310 is designed to deliver reliable performance for everyday professional use. It provides consistent and accurate readings, supporting routine growth monitoring and early identification of potential concerns. The scale’s dependable operation makes it suitable for regular use during postnatal visits and follow-up appointments.

Its compact design also allows it to be stored easily when not in use, making it a practical choice for professionals with limited storage space. The M-310’s balance of portability, accuracy, and ease of use ensures it integrates seamlessly into daily practice.
