Seca 956 Digital Chair Scale for Weighing while Seated

The Seca 956 Digital Chair Scale for Weighing while Seated provides a convenient, safe, and accessible solution for weighing users with reduced mobility. Designed for comfort and ease of use in both clinical and care home environments, it allows patients to be weighed accurately while remaining comfortably seated. This reduces the need for unnecessary transfers and supports both patient dignity and staff safety.

With its ergonomic chair design, the Seca 956 combines robust construction with intelligent engineering to make weighing procedures simple, accurate, and efficient. The chair’s swivelling armrests and foldable footrests enable side access for patients transferring from a wheelchair or bed, allowing for minimal physical strain on both the patient and the carer. Once seated, the patient experiences a secure, supportive position, while staff can record measurements confidently using the clearly visible digital display.

This chair scale is particularly valuable in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and aged care facilities where patients often have restricted mobility or require assistance during daily weighing routines. The Seca 956’s compact yet stable structure allows easy manoeuvrability through narrow spaces, while its wheel locks provide extra safety and ensure stability during use.

Customer Reviews

"Improved Efficiency and Patient Comfort in Hospital Care" – Sophie M.

"Since introducing the Seca 956 into our ward, we’ve noticed a marked improvement in both patient comfort and staff efficiency. The folding arm- and footrests make it far easier to move frail patients safely, and the wheels lock solidly for stability. The accurate readings (to 0.1kg) give us confidence in monitoring weight changes. A robust, reliable piece of kit."

"A Practical Solution for Care Homes" – James T. 

"As the manager of a busy care home, I appreciate how the Seca 956 simplifies regular weight checks. Instead of moving residents awkwardly to a standard scale, we bring this chair scale to them. It’s comfortable for residents, and the high build quality means it holds up to daily use. Excellent investment for any facility supporting less-mobile individuals."

"Essential Equipment for Rehabilitation Clinics" - Linda H.

"In a rehabilitation setting where many patients cannot stand safely, the Seca 956 has become indispensable. The comfortable seating, secure locking wheels and clear display all help the process run smoothly. The 200 kg capacity and 100 g graduation give us the precision we need for tracking progress. I’d strongly recommend this chair scale for any clinic working with mobility-impaired clients."
