*CerviLenz/サービレンズ*

妊婦の子宮頸管長さを計測することにより、早産のリスクを予想できることが調査によりわかっています。そして約一割の妊娠女性の子宮頸管が短く、それは早産のリスクが高いことを意味します。CerviLenzはとてもシンプルな医療用器具であり、医師、看護士あるいは助産婦が妊婦の子宮頸管長の長さを計測し、早産のリスクがあるかどうか確認することができます。CerviLenz社は日本国内における輸入販売パートナーを捜しております。より詳細な情報は
http://www.cervilenz.com/index.html でご確認いただけます。



*CerviLenz
*Research has proven that the length of the cervix during pregnancy can be
used to predict the risk of preterm birth. Roughly 10% of pregnant women
have a short cervix, and consequently have a higher risk of preterm birth.
CerviLenz is a simple medical device that allows physicians, nurse
practitioners or midwives to measure cervix length and ascertain whether the
risk of preterm birth exists. Cervilenz is looking for distributors and
partners for the Japanese market. Please click on the following link for
further information: http://www.cervilenz.com/index.html
