A force sensor and peak-reading recorder for measurement of cervical dilatation force. 1984

A J Crawford, and G R Plant, and G M Filshie, and M B Macpherson, and A R McCabe

Earlier dilatation force-sensing transducers, when subjected to side loads, suffered frictional losses which affected their accuracy. This new instrument incorporates a thermal-writing chart recorder and a digital readout of the peak force during dilatation of the cervix.
