About FEMCERV
FEMCERV is intended for women who have received an abnormal pap smear result or have other factors that require a sampling of her cervical canal (i.e. cervical lesions extending into the canal or when there is undiagnosed uterine bleeding).  The device minimizes the risk of incomplete sampling and optimizes diagnostic acuity by collecting a complete 360 degree sample, while protecting the sample from contamination.  Endocervical curettage has the potential to decrease the number of unnecessary surgical treatments and to play a role in reducing the number of undiagnosed cases of cervical cancer.
