MAPVIX: Mapping the Uterine Cervix Stiffness of Pregnant Women at Mid Gestation
The assessment of cervical stiffness plays a major role in obstetrics, for example to assess the risk of preterm birth. The Pregnolia System is a CE-certified measuring device that objectively determines cervical stiffness using a slight negative pressure. The Pregnolia System was developed in Switzerland and resulted from a research project of the ETH and the University Hospital Zurich. Until now, the stiffness of the cervix was examined and individually assessed by palpation (palpation with fingers). The Pregnolia System was developed to make this measurement objective and independent of the examining person. The aim of the study is to measure cervical stiffness at different locations on the cervix to see if there are differences between the measurement locations.
