The Marsden M-999 Patient Transfer Scale (PTS) is a groundbreaking solution for weighing immobile or time-critical patients quickly, accurately, and with dignity. Winner of the Queen’s Award for Innovation 2021, it is designed to take a precise weight reading during the lateral transfer process, eliminating the need to move patients to a separate weighing device.

Invented by Registered General Nurse Gillian Taylor, the PTS has transformed patient care in A&E, stroke units, and other clinical settings by allowing healthcare professionals to obtain an accurate weight without delays. This reduces door-to-needle times, improves compliance with the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), and ensures patients receive correct treatment dosages without guesswork.
