No, but one of the Kiwis comes with a traction monitor attached as part of the unit. It isn't reported on the strip, but it does help you to know how hard you are pulling - even if you only use it for a few times to train your muscles.

I like the Kiwi Omni-Cup over the M-cup for its flexible disc attachment, which makes it easier to place correctly even with asynclitism and a tight perineum, and also because it frees a nurse's hands to help the patient in some other way (do it yourself pumping).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
