Official title
Patient Discomfort With a Novel Suction Based Cervical Retractor Compared to the Traditional Cervical Tenaculum
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will test a suction-based method of engaging the cervix. Bioceptive has developed a device that more gently and atraumatically attaches to the cervix with no bleeding. This novel attachment mechanism may diminish pain and discomfort. Pre-clinical testing has been performed on the device including testing on synthetic uterine models, human cadavers, and human uteri immediately post-hysterectomy (Utah IRB # 00059096). Results from these efforts have shown effective attachment to the cervix and the ability for the device to maintain suction throughout a procedure atraumatically. This study proposes to introduce this minimal risk device in a clinical setting to determine the response of women undergoing gynecologic procedures.
