Description
The Doran DS1100 Mechanical Height Rod adds stature measurement to an existing scale station for adult and pediatric patients. The measurement arm slides into position and the height shows in a large window just below it, where staff read it without squinting. Clinics with a scale but no rod get the missing half of the height and weight pair from a durable ABS rod.
- 24 to 82 in Range – One rod spans child through tall adult stature, which covers the full panel.
- Large Reading Window – The height displays in a window below the arm, which makes the read fast and unambiguous.
- Fine 1/16 in Graduations – Sixteenth inch and 1 mm graduations support precise growth and BMI work.
- Durable ABS Construction – The plastic rod keeps weight and cost down while standing up to daily clinic use.
Stature Measurement for Scales Without a Rod
The DS1100 rod measures 59 in long with an 11 in by 8 in measurement arm that flips into position over the patient head. Sliding the arm down to the head sets the reading, shown in the large window for direct chart entry. Paired with any platform scale, the rod completes the data BMI requires without replacing the scale. The ABS body keeps the assembly light, which suits wall or scale mounting in compact exam rooms. Doran rates the rod for adult and pediatric patients alike, so one accessory serves the whole practice.

- Accurate Stature – A sliding arm reads the crown of the head directly, which beats tape estimates.
