Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate patient-reported pain, bleeding, and device efficiency along with provider satisfaction and ease of use between intrauterine procedures employing a suction cervical stabilizer (new device, FDA approved, atraumatic) or single-tooth tenaculum (standard, traumatic). This device, cleared by the FDA in 2023, was studied in Europe and showed pain reduced by up to 73% and bleeding reduced by 78% compared to the single-tooth tenaculum for intrauterine contraceptive device insertion. The investigators seek to study this device in the United States, and trial it among all intrauterine procedures.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Patient-perceived pain	Patients will be asked to rate their pain on a 10 point Likert scale. Lower numbers represent lower pain.	Upon cervical stabilization, and immediately after intrauterine procedure is complete
Secondary	Provider-perceived bleeding	Bleeding perceived by the provider during and after the procedure	Immediately after intrauterine procedure is complete
Secondary	Provider-perceived ease of use	Providers will report their perceived ease of use indicating "Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, or Strongly Agree" and open response.	Immediately after intrauterine procedure is complete
Secondary	Provider-perceived satisfaction	Providers will report their perceived satisfaction indicating "Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, or Strongly Agree" and open response.	Immediately after intrauterine procedure is complete
