  • Title: A cervimeter for continuous measurement of cervical dilatation in labour-preliminary results.
    Author: Richardson JA, Sutherland IA, Allen DW.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1978 Mar; 85(3):178-83. PubMed ID: 629897.
    Abstract:
    We briefly review instruments that have been used to measure cervical dilatation and describe the development of a new cervimeter. Curves derived from cervical dilatation and intrauterine pressure traces are presented in a form that clearly records the activity of the uterus and the response of the cervix to individual contractions. Our results suggest a new concept for behaviour of the cervix in labour.
