How does the Transpatch adhere to the abdomen?
The Transpatch has adhesive on its corners, allowing it to securely stick to the skin while leaving the center adhesive-free for easy placement and removal of a transducer.
Is the Transpatch difficult to remove?
No. While designed to stay in place, the adhesive allows for easy removal when needed.
Does the Transpatch lose adhesiveness during a procedure?
No. It uses a special adhesive that maintains its grip throughout use.
Is the Transpatch hypoallergenic?
Yes. It is made from hypoallergenic materials.
How many times can a single Transpatch be reapplied?
You can reapply it up to two to three times before needing a new one.
Is the Transpatch disposable?
Yes. It is a single-use device and should be properly discarded after use.
How does the Transpatch compare to a belt?
While both secure a transducer for fetal heart monitoring, the Transpatch eliminates abdominal pressure, does not interfere with epidural placement, and reduces the risk of cross-infection.
Does the Transpatch need sterilization before use?
No. It is manufactured in a controlled clean room and is ready to use out of the package.
How does the fetal heart trace compare when using the Transpatch versus a belt?
No difference. The Transpatch holds the transducer effectively without causing additional abdominal pressure.
Is the Transpatch more comfortable than a belt?
Yes. In clinical trials, 98% of women found the Transpatch more comfortable and easier to use. (The remaining 2% had hairy abdomens.)
How does the Transpatch assist with telemetry monitoring?
It allows for freedom of movement during labor, enabling patients to reposition or walk while remaining monitored.
How is the Transpatch packaged?
Each unit is individually sealed. A box contains 50 single-use units.
Does the Transpatch leave marks on the skin?
It may cause temporary redness at the application site, which typically fades within a few hours.
How does the Transpatch benefit hospital staff?
It is easier to apply than a belt and eliminates the need for staff to hold the transducer in place during epidural administration.
Should all ultrasound gel be wiped away before applying the Transpatch?
Yes, to ensure proper adhesion to the skin.
Does the Transpatch need to be applied completely flat?
Yes.
Is the Transpatch compatible with all transducers?
Yes.
What should be done with the Transpatch after a CTG procedure?
Dispose of it according to hospital policy.
IDEA USE:
- In multi gravida to avoid use of multiple belts & make fetal monitoring much easier.
- Telemetry monitoring.
- Bariatric patients because of excessive discomfort caused by belts.
- During insertion of epidural anaesthesia, to avoid the nurse kneeling close to hold the transducer by hand because the belt would be in the field of insertion of the epidural anaesthesia by the anaesthetist.
