ABSTRACT:
A fetal monitoring assembly includes an electrode housing having a top and bottom end with a spiraled electrode extending from the top end thereof. Extending from the bottom end is flat plate and a plurality of wires which couple the electrode with a fetal monitor. The wires are encompassed within an elongated tube having first and second ends with a pair of opposing notches at a first end dimensioned to receive the electrode plate. The tube is formed of two mating semi-cylindrical sections which may be separated when removing the tube. The terminal end of each wire has a female electrical receptacle for conveniently coupling the wires to a fetal video monitor plug. A second end of the tube has a circumferential removable strip which compresses the tube about the wires and prevents the two sections from separating until the user has properly installed the electrode.
