Executive Summary
Screening for short cervix, the greatest risk factor for preterm delivery, is not yet part of routine prenatal care. Cervilenz Inc. is working to change that with its cervicometer, the CerviLenz: a two-minute screening test with this vaginal probe can easily be performed in an office or hospital setting by any practitioner trained to use a speculum, including a nurse or midwife.
