Searching For New Method

1) which can done by patient
2) patient friendly
3) Time Saving
4) Help in right management at right time
5) Not need to hospitalized for detection
6) Patient will not feel uncomfortable
7) Quick result
8) Economical
9) Color remains stable for at least 48 hours
10) Kit detects even minimal amounts of Amniotic leaks Clearly distinguishes between amniotic leakage and urine
Drawback of Current Method

  • Old methods are either invasive or inaccurate or both .
  • Labor intensive
  • fern test is neither sensitive nor specific enough for diagnostic determination of premature rupture of membranes.
  • pH/nitrazine test is sensitive only when used in women for whom membrane status is known.
