Why is gynecology still using a Civil War-era tool?
- Carevix is a suction-based device designed to reduce pain during cervical procedures by replacing the traditional tenaculum's sharp metal claws with a plastic suction wand that gently stabilizes the cervix without piercing it.
- In a randomized controlled trial with 100 women undergoing IUD insertion, Carevix reduced pain by up to 73% and bleeding by 78% compared to the standard cervical tenaculum.
- Aspivix was inspired by the midwife wife of co-founder Horras during Carevix's early development and faced challenges convincing financiers to invest due to unfamiliarity with the instrument and the pain it addresses.
