How Henry Schein Medical can support your practice
Each year, approximately 3,200 women of all ages are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the UK, according to Cancer Research UK.
Cervical cancer is usually found and treated because of cervical screening tests. However, only 1 in 4 attend their cervical screening test, according to Macmillan.
There are several reasons patients might avoid their cervical screening, one of which being that they find the screening too painful.
Having a broad range of speculum sizes available to offer patients can allow them to choose their preferred size and put them at ease.
Our speculums have been specifically hand-picked to make your patients more comfortable during screenings, including our HS Vaginal Speculum, which comes with a fast-acting locking mechanism for reduced procedure durations and less patient trauma.
The EcoGold Speculum features a similar speed locking mechanism along with an ultimate degree of flexibility for a safer, more comfortable experience.
We also have an extensive range of water-soluble lubricants available, which are essential to cervical screening and can also help to prevent pain and anxiety for patients.
