tocotransducer

A **tocotransducer** is a medical device used during labor to monitor the strength and frequency of uterine contractions. It is an external sensor typically placed on the mother’s abdomen, providing continuous, non-invasive measurement of contraction patterns to help healthcare providers assess labor progression and fetal well-being. Tocotransducers are essential tools in obstetrics for ensuring safe delivery and timely interventions when necessary.
