An intrapartum pressure monitoring catheter is a flexible tube with a pressure sensor at its tip, designed to be inserted through the cervix during labor to measure uterine and amniotic cavity pressures. It is used clinically to assess the strength, timing, and pattern of contractions, helping healthcare providers evaluate labor progress and fetal well-being.
This device is intended for single-use only and is typically supplied sterile for immediate clinical use. It connects via a signal cable to an external monitoring system that displays real-time pressure or temperature data, and may also support amniotic fluid infusion or sampling as part of its function.
