Midmark M11 vs Tuttnauer T-Edge 11S Leave a comment
For any and every need, there’s a different kind of autoclave out there that will fit the bill. However, sometimes deciding on how to go about finding one can be difficult. Some autoclaves may look the same or may even be priced the same as others, but the details of each unit can speak otherwise. So today we’re going to compare two autoclaves and hopefully help you narrow down which one may be right for you. Here, we’ll share with you everything you’ll need to know about the Midmark M11 and the Tuttnauer T-Edge 11S.
In this article we will show you some of the specs to give you an idea of the difference in size and basic functionality.
However, if you’re more of a visual learner, we have a video on the subject available here.
