- COROMETRICS offers both large-format (45m) and compact shielded units
Why These Differences Matter
- Workflow Integration:
Clinics might prefer CAREWELL’s compact systems, while hospitals may need COROMETRICS’ advanced CTGs - Future-Proofing:
Progressive model numbering (like COMEN’s) makes upgrades predictable - Signal Integrity:
Shielded CTG units (150sh) ensure reliable monitoring in busy environments
Choosing the Right System
- For General Practice: CAREWELL 1101G or COMEN CM200
- For Obstetrics: COROMETRICS 2120ls or shielded 152mm models
- For Cardiology Departments: COMEN CM600 or CAREWELL 1112
