utÈros
Redesign of vaginal speculum
utÈros is an innovative vaginal speculum. This device, designed to simplify the work of doctors and improve the patient experience, reduces the physical and emotional impact on women thanks to an updated shape that adapts to the female anatomy. In addition, the single-material, single-component design offers significant advantages in terms of manufacturing and disposal processes.
