Tocodynamometer probe

A tocodynamometer probe is a reusable medical device placed on a pregnant woman’s abdomen during labor to detect and measure uterine contractions. It converts these contractions into electrical signals, which are then displayed on a cardiotocograph (CTG) to monitor fetal heart rate and maternal contractions simultaneously.

These devices are typically regulated as reusable medical instruments, often requiring validation for durability, sterility processes, and clinical performance. They may be supplied as standalone probes or as part of a larger fetal monitoring system, depending on the manufacturer’s design and intended use.
