Ease of Use
Users love the Easy-Wrap ComFit Cuff that is a bit wider than some of the others out there on the market. A wider fit ensures that you are covering a large part of the arm to ensure that it is properly placed. Smaller cuffs mean that there is a chance that is wasn’t properly placed, meaning you may not get an accurate reading.
