A fast, accurate and reliable bedside way to test cervix maturity and distinguish between normal preterm contractions and true labour.
Actim Partus is an immunochromatographic dipstick test based on monoclonal antibodies. It just detects a different, phosphorylated form of IGFBP-1 from decidua. As the cervix matures, the membrane layers detach from each other. The phosphorylated form of IGFBP-1 produced by decidual cells is then liberated and leaks into the cervix.
