Sling for use with Scale Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Sling for use with Scale (Product Code: SLE/AE/01) is a square fabric carrier that hangs from the lower hook of a spring scale so that a newborn or young infant can be weighed lying safely and comfortably. It is used by growth-monitoring teams, maternity wards, community health workers and nutrition survey staff, and is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as one of the practical lab equipment accessories that complete a hanging-scale weighing station. One size fits all babies in the 0–6 month age group.

Specifications

Typical Use

In a baby clinic or outreach session the scale is hung from a beam or tripod, the empty sling is clipped on by both straps, and the pointer is brought to zero before the undressed infant is laid in the centre of the fabric. Because the material is non-elastic, the baby does not bounce or sag unevenly, which helps the pointer settle for a clean reading. The square 80 cm panel cradles a newborn lying flat, so it suits the first months of life, when infants cannot yet sit up in weighing trousers.

Nursing schools and public-health training centres also use the sling when teaching correct infant weighing technique, and programmes buying lab equipment for college and field training in India often order several so one can be washed while another is in use. Wash it at no more than 40°C between sessions to keep it hygienic without excessive shrinkage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of scale does this sling fit?
It is designed to hang from a spring (hanging) scale; both straps go over the scale’s lower hook. The 5 kg x 25 g infant spring scale has a lower hook intended for a sling or weighing trouser.

How heavy a baby can it hold?
Up to 5 kg. For heavier or older children, use the Weighing Trousers, which hold up to 25 kg.

How do I account for the weight of the sling itself?
Hang the empty sling on the scale and set the pointer to zero before placing the baby, if your scale has a zero adjustment. Otherwise weigh the empty sling and subtract that value from each reading.

Can it be washed in a machine?
Yes. It is machine washable up to 40°C with ordinary household detergent, and the fabric does not shrink by more than 10% under those conditions.
