Our Legal for Trade professional product line provides invaluable information to: clinical researchers and medical experts, point-of-care physicians in the Acute Care, Long-Term Care, Pediatric and Veterinary practices, sports coaches (wrestling, training rooms), and scientists working in the fields of obesity, cardiology, physiology, diabetes, nutrition, chiropractic, and rehabilitation therapies. These monitors and doctor scales, physician scales also help doctors by improving patient understanding and compliance in treatment programs and provide greater accessibility for patients, as well as, increased portability and accuracy for healthcare professionals in the geriatric and bariatric fields.

TANITA’s wide variety of professional analyzers provide a detailed full body and segmental body composition analysis - weight, impedance, body fat percentage, body fat mass, body mass index (BMI), fat free mass, estimated muscle mass, total body water, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the entire body by using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) or Direct-Segmental Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA) technology (two of the most thorough and reliable ways to measure body composition). All scales are built with Tanita's high standards, and many products feature a convenient carrying case, height rod, USB (Type B) RS232 outputs, software, and a remote display, guaranteeing long-lasting performance, even in the most demanding healthcare environments.

As the world-leader in providing scales for healthcare professionals, TANITA scales are more affordable and convenient than DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) or hydrostatic weighting, yet offer accuracy used in measuring multiple frequency BIA. Our scales provide insight into such indicators as weight loss, caloric intake, diet and #exercise, adipose tissue, and total body water (intracellular and extracellular water) in both pounds and kilograms - making them useful for fitness gyms and clubs as well. Some models feature stadiometers (height rods), are EMR compatible, are Welch Allen compatible, and wireless output, but all are ISO 9001 certified.
