Popis: A new simple test of the identification of ruptured fetus membranes has been studied which is based on the heating of the dry sample slide in which endocervix specimen has been placed. When this specimen contains amniotic fluid, the dry sample slide turns white. When the amniotic fluid doesn't exist, it turns brown. 275 cases of ruptured membranes in term pregnancy have been studied and our test has proved 100% percent successful. We have also studied 225 cases of term pregnancies with unruptured membranes and the rupture of membranes appeared in 24 of the cases. (10.6% false positive results). This new method is simple, fast, economical and reliable in the testing of ruptured membranes with a small percentage of false positive results in cases of unruptured membranes.
