The
sensitive, single-use pressure transducer of Intran® Plus is located
at the tip of the catheter that is placed inside the uterus. Placement
of the transducer inside the uterus ensures that clinical decisions
are based on the most accurate contraction frequency, duration, resting
tone and peak pressure data.
Poster - "Variable Intrauterine
Pressure Catheter (IUPC) Tracings with Two Catheters"
The transducer of Intran® Plus is encapsulated in a soft, blunt boot which prevents partial obstruction by maternal or fetal tissue from affecting the pressure tracing. Coupled with the proprietary SensaFlex™ tubing material of Intran® Plus, the blunt tip allows clinicians to sense and avoid tissue obstructions prior to causing injury. In fact, Intran® Plus has been inserted in over 2 million patients over the last 10 years with no reported patient injuries.*

INSERTION TACTILITY & SAFETY: Intran® Plus is designed with
SensaFlex™, a tactile tubing material that is stiff enough to
allow insertion while maintaining the pliability necessary to avoid
injuries. Combined with the soft, blunt tip of Intran® Plus, SensaFlex™
tubing allows the clinician to sense tissue obstructions prior to
causing injury.
TIP SIZE AND SHAPE: Intran® Plus is available in small and regular
catheter tip sizes. The small tip (.19" H x .25" W x .90"
L) may be slightly easier to introduce through tightly stretched cervical
tissues. The regular tip (.25" H x .30" W x 1" L) is
also inserted easily but is the optimal size, shape & softness
to facilitate safe placement and avoidance of patient tissue injury.
DUAL LUMEN DESIGN & AMNIOINFUSION: The dual lumen design of Intran®
Plus allows simultaneous monitoring of uterine contractions and baseline
readings while amnioinfusing.
AMNIOTIC FLUID VISUALIZATION: All Intran®
Plus
configurations are designed with a clear covering over the lumen used
for amnioinfusion (Amniolumen). Clinicians may use the clear Amniolumen
to assess amniotic fluid return upon IUPC placement or for visualization
of fluid during the course of labor. The Amnio View Port option provides
a convenient means of amniotic fluid visualization and includes a
meconium color scale to facilitate observation of changes in meconium
color over time.
RE-ZERO CAPABILITIES: The Intran® Plus IUPC system typically requires
a single monitor zeroing procedure. However, a convenient method for
re-zeroing the system is provided through the availability of a re-zero
switch on the catheter or button on the re-usable cable.
LATEX-FREE: Intran® Plus contains no latex or latex by-products.
