Scope: Gynecology
Classification: Disposable medical device class 1 sterile.
Composition and function of the device: speculum including a rod
dilatatrice and a cervical canal of the protective sheathing in plastic
medical.
Use: dilation of the cervical canal to all forms of examinations and
interventions surgical inside the uterus: hysteroscopy
diagnostic and surgical, voluntary interruptions of pregnancy, installation an
d removal of IUD (contraceptive), hysterosalpingography.
 2- Focus on dilatation of the cervical canal gynecology

Dilation of the cervix or cervical canal, wants to be an ordinary act done in the
frame very many procedures performed daily in all clinics and hospitals.
However this act faces many implementation difficulties because there
not even on the international market an instrument to practice this gesture of
way safe and durable, safe and painless and respect the integrity of each
wife.
The answer given by the speculum can permanently remove all
issues generated by the expansion of instruments currently available on the
scene International. Cervical dilation will become an act that will be realized in full
quietudeWithout any complications and the most perfect respect of each patient.
Our invention is based on many years of research and reflections in
which we listened and analyzed the remarks and a multitude of wishes
Gynecologists practitioners to improve the supply of existing products on the
market as it turns out that many points, not least, are still not
solved
again today :
 2- Focus on dilatation of the cervical canal gynecology

• Dilation of the cervical canal without any risk of laceration of the channel and / or perforation of the uterus
: Hegar candles, used in over 95% of cases are traumatic. frontal resistance and friction cause bleeding
and sometimes irreversible damage to the cervical canal.

• Using a fast device, inexpensive and disposable: Hegar candles are painful to use for the patient. This re
quires recourse to intervention in the operating room (400-1200 € / hour) with the assistance of an anesth
esiologist (€ 100-120 / action). Reusable, their use is subject to a sterilization operation at each new inter
vention (35 to 52 € / sterilization)

• Stress practitioner faced with the risk of perforation: risk of internal bleeding. This limits the number of us
ers practitioners (sending the patient to the hospital for 50% of them).

• The pain of the patient and the consequences of multiple expansion: beyond three dilatation of the cervic
al canal channel muscles lose their tone and some women may not carry their pregnancy to term.

• Stress and risk of complications for the patient undergoing general anesthesia and its side effects. Besid
es the additional operating cost of a hospital room because in this case the patient should remain in bed.
Advantages of this speculum
The answer we give to these problems will lead to:
1) Avoid any form of laceration and perforation of the cervical canal.
2) and safeguard the health of patients.
3) Limit stress of the patient.
4) Remove Stress practitioner.
5) Allow the greatest number of practitioners to practice expansion.
6) Delete general anesthesia with its costs and consequences.
7) Replace spark plugs Hegar, totally obsolete.
8) Have a three instruments in one: speculum dilator, protecting the cervical canal.
9) significantly reduce the cost of using traditional instruments and collateral costs.
10) Reduce the cost of insurance paid by institutions to these high-risk interventions.
11) Allow real and substantial savings to health institutions and social organizations.
 4 - Use technical
The utéroscope is as a telescopic rod provided with plural stages of different diameters bigger and bigger, sl
iding inside a protective membrane which isolates the channel walls
cervicalSo no friction or injury. The introduction vagino-cervical easily practice,
practitioner pushing on the push rod introduced the first cannula of the dilating rod in the channel
cervical, Thus preventing, while provision of vaginal bacteria. Safe operation is facilitated by the
cavity hollow in the center which allows the practitioner, through a lamp, can move forward without risk
Error until the beginning of the cervical canal. Then by pressing the push rod pin advance the dilator
for start the expansion to 2 mm and arrive at the desired diameter by the practitioner (between 6 and 12 mm
, or
more) Depending on the type of intervention that will practice. The speculum will be offered with a tunnel
protective allowing a protection channel to 6 mmm (70% of cases) up to 12 mm or more, depending on the
type intervention. This sheath is then removed with a simple gesture of mini rotation once the procedure is c
ompleted.
The speculum is therefore presented as a three in one tool, which, besides the advantage of having a single
manipulation to perform, also allows secure and optimize the work of the practitioner
removing the risk of injury to the patient. Double advantage.
Moreover, and this is certainly the most important point speculum will allow to make important
savings financial on each intervention. (See comparison chart below).
Candles Hegar existed since 1879 and have never been improved or replaced. They are in the
form spacers, either metallic or plastic. During each procedure the practitioner applies a firststrong
traction to pull the cervix with the aid of a clamp to the outlet of the vagina. Then he introduced the candles in Hegar
the cervical canal. It starts expansion by the smaller diameter, then introduced the following generally candles
numbered February-December mmm one after the other. Their purchase cost is largely absorbed due to their reuse after s
terilization. By cons, and to make a fair comparison with our device, it is necessary to integrate the cost of sterilization duri
ng each intervention (on average € 43), that the cost of the operating theater and
anesthesiologistAnd the cost of the technical team during the time that lasts expansion.
Gynedil is a hydraulic dilating the cervical canal. By design it can not respond to all cases of
dilation because it is mechanically limited to a minimum diameter of from 4.5 mm and expands to 10.5 mm. Of
more, Consisting of a large number of parts to be assembled, its design induces strong production costs and assembly, wh
ich makes it inaccessible to a large number of operations and penalizes its diffusion. To date the
production just stopped.
Our device and gynedil were two totally different products. Our device is mechanical, while gynedil
was hydraulic. Our device is a speculum that integrates a dilator and a protective tunnel, while gynedil
was only a hydraulic dilator, and nothing else. To use gynedil first had to use a speculum. Finally gynedil not filed any prote
ction on the walls of the cervical canal to ensure their protection when movingof the
instruments during the procedure.
6 - Market
The market is global. No other instrument of this type exists.
As bizarre as it may seem person, to date, has been able to invent such an instrument for single use and integrates all essen tial ins
truments in one.
There are many other types of hydraulic dilators but none could show reliability. This is because it must exert pressure of 20 bar for
dilating the cervical canal.
Next countries gynecological interventions acts ratios or cervical dilation is required are:
Industrialized countries: 0.7% of the total population of the country
Emerging countries: 1 to 1.2%
Underdeveloped countries: 1.5 to 2%

For example the French market is: 460 000 interventions / year to 66 million inhabitants (source Ministry of Health)
spread 50% in abortion, 50% in diagnostic and surgical hysteroscopy. Or 0.7% of the overall population. To
devalue the market for each country this rule should be applied above to know the number of
expansions cervical performed each year in the selected country.
In view of my experience in the matter it appears that the number of interventions is higher than the present ratio. However by
troubles Weighting we only retain the calculation method and apply a 1% to all our calculations.
The market is huge since there is a considerable number of official intervention and reported annually worldwide
requiring dilation of the cervical canal.

Many countries do not list this type of act, suggesting an even larger market.
