MARSDEN MAKE WEIGHING BEDBOUND
PATIENTS EASIER Medical scales manufacturer Marsden Group has responded to comments and suggestions from customers by introducing a portable weighing scale for bedbound patients.
The Class III approved M950 Bed Weighing Scale has been designed with both care homes and hospitals in mind, where movement of beds is restricted.
It allows a patient to be accurately weighed while still in their bed, using four pads that are placed under the bed’s wheels. Using a Preset Tare function, the weight of the bed is
CLOS-O-MAT KEEPS TOILETS IN TIP-TOP
CONDITION Clos-o-Mat, the supplier of automatic shower (wash and dry) toilets, delivers a unique support system, now crystallised in its ‘keeping it simple’ five point customer commitment plan.
Ian Tomlinson, Clos-o-Mat’s service manager, explained: “The plan is a written, tangible means for existing and potential users of our products to understand that, to us, their toilet is essential to their independence in everyday life. We must support them every step of the way, not just sell them something and walk away.”
All free of charge, from initial enquiry to the end of the toilet’s ‘life’, Clos-o-Mat will put the user first. A home visit before purchase enables the user to see the equipment, and understand how it works. Once installed, one of the company’s team of in-house engineers commissions the toilet, verifying everything works properly.

automatically removed from the reading on the scale’s indicator, giving the patient’s weight only.
Each weighing pad weighs 5kg and has a carry handle, allowing them to be carried between wards and rooms.
Richard Black, managing director at Marsden Group, said: “The M950 is
an essential addition to our medical scales range as it means weighing bedbound patients is easier than ever. We’re also very pleased with the price – we can sell this at nearly half that of our nearest competitor.”
Marsden’s operation director, Mark Coates, added: “The challenge with the M950 was to produce something that could weigh patients while they were still in bed that was lightweight, highly accurate and quick and easy to use. It also needed to accommodate any bed, no matter how low or wide the wheelbase. We have collaborated extensively with two of the UK’s leading bed manufacturers to finalise our design.”
The M950 is available to order now and is priced at £2,450.

Annual service and maintenance contracts give the peace of mind that, should anything go wrong, once notified Clos-o-Mat will respond by the end of the next working day and attend within 72 working hours. The company offers unlimited call-outs.
Ian added: “We go to the loo on average eight times a day so if the toilet stops working, it really is an issue, especially if you are disabled.
That is why we have made such a big commitment to our clients.
“We have Clos-o-Mats still in daily use 30 years after first being fitted because they have been annually serviced. Our philosophy is to minimise the impact that could have on the user. As a company, we have attained the prestigious Investors in People Award: in our minds that extends beyond our staff to our clients.”
