Results with millimeter precision thanks to tray-shaped lying surface

The seca 416 enables the perfect length measurement of babies and toddlers. Thanks to the V-shape and the head positioner, the infant is automatically in the correct measuring position. The foot positioner runs on two side rails and cannot be moved by the baby thanks to the brake button. Thus, after the measurement, the baby can first be cared for and then the measurement result can be read with millimeter precision.
