Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The specific aim of this research is to determine if the Bouquet Speculum TM , compared to the existing 2-bladed vaginal speculum, provides better visualization of the cervix, is easier for the provider to use and is more comfortable for the patient. Additionally, the clinician's experience with vaginal speculum exams and the patient's last vaginal speculum exam, parity and self-reported weight classification will be surveyed to see what effect, if any, it has on visualization of the cervix, ease-of use, and comfort level for the patient. The objective of this project is to investigate the use of a novel, FDA-cleared, 5-petaled vaginal speculum in cervical cancer screening (Pap test and/or HPV probe) on 200 patients from Sunrise Community Health Clinics in the Denver-Metro area.

- description
- 200 women will be selected from the Sunrise Clinics in the Denver-Metro area. The clinician will then be assigned a letter and complete three questions on a survey for each patient regarding 1. visualization of the cervix 2. ease-of-use 3. experience with speculum exams. The patient will be consented and de-identified and assigned a number to their survey of four questions: 1. comfort level 2. last vaginal speculum exam 3. self-reported description of weight (underweight, normal, overweight, obese) 4. parity (number of births). The Bouquet Speculum has been FDA-cleared and is a Class II medical device and poses a non-significant risk for use in humans. Regulation Number: 884.4520
