Life Trace Fetal Monitoring Belts & Recording Paper

Life Trace supplies from Cardinal Health keep labor and delivery units, obstetric clinics, and diagnostic monitoring stations running with the consumables that fetal monitors depend on daily. This collection covers the two things a monitoring session can't happen without: the belts that hold ultrasound and toco transducers securely against the abdomen, and the chart paper that captures the fetal heart rate and contraction trace.

Belt choice comes down to fit and comfort during long tracings. The Life-Trace Fetal Monitoring Belt in soft, latex-free material (2-3/8" x 48", buttonhole style) accommodates a wide range of maternal abdomens and reduces slippage during extended monitoring, while the knit elastic Abdominal Belt (1.5" x 36", tab style) offers a lighter, stretchier hold for shorter sessions. Both ship as a pink-and-blue pair so a two-transducer setup — one for the fetal heart rate, one for contractions — is ready out of the box. For monitors using dedicated transducer straps, the Cardinal Health Life Trace Transducer Belt (56102) is the direct-fit option.

On the recording side, matching paper to your monitor model matters more than anything else. The Precision Charts Life Trace Fetal Diagnostic Recording Paper (152 mm x 47 ft, multi-channel roll, B4305AA0) is sized for standard fetal monitor printers, and the Life Trace ECG/EEG Recording Paper (30597226) serves broader cardiac and neurological tracing needs. Because grid scaling drives accurate interpretation, always confirm the paper width and part number against your device before ordering.

Belts are washable and reusable within a single patient's stay; paper and disposable belts should be stocked by case to avoid interrupted monitoring. If you're comparing diagnostic tracing supplies across brands, the Dyna / Trace collection offers related monitoring consumables worth reviewing alongside Life Trace.
