<p>A single-use connector 1 for a fetal electrode is provided. The housing 10 of the connector is moulded together as two shells 10a, 10b of substantially rigid material where each shell is integrally connected to the other along a common straight portion of edge 12. This provides the housing with a clam-shell form. The housing is also provided with a socket 11 for receiving a plug 2 of a fetal electrode. The plug is provided with two or more electrical contacts 23, 24 to feed electrical signals from the fetal electrode. The connector also includes an abrasive surface to abrade the skin in preparation for attaching the maternal-skin electrode 15 to the Mother's leg. The connector plug can also include a electronic ID device to prevent re-use of the connector.</p> |
