Simple, clinician-recommended digital weight scale for patients instructed to monitor weight trends during surgical recovery.
Why this scale is recommended
This digital weight scale is selected for perioperative use because it provides simple, reliable weight measurements without unnecessary apps, subscriptions, or body composition estimates that can cause confusion or anxiety during recovery.
This scale measures weight only, which is the most clinically useful parameter when weight tracking is requested by a healthcare provider.
Best for patients who:
Have been instructed by their care team to track weight trends
Are monitoring fluid status or swelling as part of recovery
Are enrolled in cardiometabolic or perioperative optimization programs
Not all surgical patients need to track weight. Always follow your surgeon’s or provider’s instructions.
What’s included
Digital body weight scale
Large, easy-to-read display
Manufacturer instructions
How this scale is used
Place the scale on a hard, flat surface
Weigh at the same time of day, preferably in the morning
Use consistent clothing (or no shoes)
Record trends over time rather than focusing on single readings
This device supports monitoring only and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
