ABOUT THE CERVILENZ® DEVICE

Preterm Birth and Cervical Length

It’s all about the cervix!

Cervical length is a powerful predictor of preterm birth risk. Measuring cervical length can influence treatment decisions and improve health outcomes in pregnant women. The CerviLenz device is a new way to measure cervical length.

Long? Short? Shortening?

During pregnancy management or suspected preterm labor, the CerviLenz procedure helps you deliver the right care at the right time.

Office, clinic, hospital

Use this device anytime you need to measure the cervix. You get valuable clinical data right away.

Women and Babies in Crisis

Prematurity is the single biggest threat to healthy pregnancies and babies. Preterm labor can strike any pregnant woman any time. You need to know if you should worry. She wants reassurance that she shouldn’t worry.

We are here to help. For routine or high risk pregnancies, a cervical length measurement puts everyone’s mind at ease. Hopefully, she’s okay for now. Or, you’re next step may be further assessment or treatment. Either way, she knows she’s getting the care she needs.

  • Using a speculum, visualize the cervix.
  • Insert the CerviLenz device leading with the measurement probe extended.
  • With the measurement probe at 3 or 9 o'clock, advance it along the lateral wall of the cervix until there is slight resistance at the vaginal fornix.
  • Advance the flange until it rests gently on the cervix.
  • Press the button to lock the measuring probe.
  • Remove the CerviLenz device. Read the scale. Record the CerviLenz measurement.

Reducing the Rate of Prematurity Worldwide

There is now convincing evidence that vaginal progesterone treatment can prevent premature delivery in pregnant women diagnosed with a prematurely short cervix.

For example, the study by Hassan et al. showed a 45% reduction in preterm birth and improved neonatal outcomes for patients with a cervical length between 10-20 mm. The meta-analysis by Dr. Romero et al. demonstrated the efficacy of this intervention for patients with a cervical length less than 25 mm.

As Dr. Campbell says, “Doing nothing is no longer an option.” There is a known risk, and now there’s an intervention that can save lives and dollars. It’s time for cervical length measurements for all pregnant women.
