Natus Medical Electrode Drying Rack
Best-in-class for clinical environments, the Natus drying rack pairs high-capacity shelving with low-heat forced-air circulation to deliver faster, more consistent drying than passive stands. Its durable materials and hospital-grade engineering reduce replacement frequency and total cost of ownership compared with lower-cost options like the BMI-3000 or Grass portable rack, while still occupying less footprint than the full-size Compumedics cabinet.
