WEBB CITY, Mo. (November 18, 2015)—DETECTO’s new model PHR freestanding portable height rod is simple to set up and easy to use for height measurement ranging from pediatric to adult use in visiting nurse homecare. There is no wall fastening necessary and it may be positioned against a wall or completely freestanding due to its large floor plate. Two spacers provide additional stability when placed against a wall. The mechanical stadiometer measures from 4.5 in–81 in and 11.5 cm–205 cm with 0.125 in/0.1 cm graduations visible on both sides of the height rod. The PHR stadiometer features a unique reversible headpiece that lets you add a DETECTO DR400C digital floor scale at the base to measure weight and height simultaneously. If you use the PHR without a DR400C scale at the base, simply flip the headpiece upside down. An optional PHR-CASE carrying case with shoulder strap is available that fits the PHR and DR400C scale.
