Medtech company Coroflo has opened a new headquarters in Dublin City University (DCU).
The company has said it has developed the world’s first accurate breast-feeding monitor, Coro. The company has obtained technical and clinical validation for the product.
It has secured contracts with several pharmacy retail chains including McCabes and McCauleys, and is building production ahead of launching the product to the market later this year.
Coroflo recently carried out a funding round of €3 million and has had total investment to date of €6 million.
