Description
The Doran DS5250-HR Assist Arms bolt onto the DS5250 column to give unsteady patients a firm grab point at the scale. Patients who hesitate at a bare platform get two stable arms to hold while the reading locks in. Clinics that weigh older adults and post-surgery patients add support to the scale they already own instead of buying a handrail model.
- Column Mounted Support – The arms attach to the DS5250 column, so the support sits exactly where patients reach for it.
- Steadier Weighments – A held grip reduces shifting on the platform, which helps Weight Lock settle on an accurate value.
- Adds Portability – The arms double as carry handles when staff move the scale between rooms.
- Fits the DS5250 Only – The package is built for the DS5250 eye level scale, so fit is exact with no adapters.
Grab Support That Retrofits the DS5250 Station
The assist arms package converts the DS5250 platform into a supported weighing station for patients who need something to hold. Mounted on the column, the arms stay clear of the platform surface, so footing and the low 1.35 in step-up stay unchanged. With the arms fitted, the scale overall width grows to 23.8 in, a figure worth checking against tight exam room doorways. Patients grip the arms while Touchless Start and Weight Lock capture the reading, which shortens the time spent balancing. For practices whose panel is aging, this accessory extends the working life and reach of an installed DS5250.

Why Choose Assist Arms for the DS5250
A bare platform asks every patient to balance unaided, and some simply will not step up without support. The assist arms add that support to the scale already in the room, at accessory cost rather than replacement cost.
- Safer Boarding – Patients hold on while stepping up and standing, which lowers fall risk at intake.
- Keeps the Existing Scale – The retrofit preserves the DS5250 investment, which avoids a second capital purchase.
- Cleaner Readings – A steadier patient produces a faster Weight Lock, which keeps the intake line moving.
