ENGLISH Why Awareness Matters — for Women, and for the Future of Gynecology

Meet Carevix®—The Gentle Cervical Device Redefining Comfort in Women’s Health

Discover how Carevix® is paving the way for safer, pain-reduced gynecological procedures—because every woman deserves care that feels considerate.

A Century-Old Problem—Finally Solved

For over 100 years, gynecological procedures like IUD insertions have relied on the cervical tenaculum—a sharp, forceps-like instrument that grips the cervix but often causes significant pain and bleeding. Shockingly, up to 90% of women report mild to severe discomfort during procedures with this tool—and around 18% even avoid IUDs entirely out of fear of pain.

Meet Carevix®—Gentle by Design

Aspivix is changing the narrative with Carevix®, a soft-suction, vacuum-based cervical stabilizer that offers a modern, trauma-free alternative. Rather than piercing tissue, it gently affixes to the cervix via suction, significantly reducing pain and bleeding—while preserving clinical effectiveness.

Clinically Proven—from Trials to Regulatory Approval

ADVANCE Women Trial: In a randomized controlled study (published in Contraception, March 2023), Carevix® achieved up to 73% reduction in pain scores and 78% fewer bleeding events compared to the tenaculum.

Regulatory Clearances:

  • FDA 510(k) clearance granted in January 2023 ([Aspivix][3]).
  • CE Mark approval awarded in December 2023, enabling usage across Europe.

Real-World Impact—Comfort You Can Feel

First US Implementation: In May 2024, Carevix® was used for the first time during gynecological procedures in the U.S., where clinicians noted less bleeding, shorter procedure time, and reports of “essentially no pain” from patients.

Tia Clinics Roll-Out:

Through an innovative partnership, Carevix® was introduced in 9 Tia women’s health clinics across major U.S. cities by late 2024. Over 700 patients globally have experienced markedly improved comfort—over 90% reported satisfaction in procedures including IUDs, hysteroscopy, and fertility-related exams.

Why This Matters to You

  • Pay-by-pain, not procedure: A less painful experience means more women may feel empowered to pursue IUDs and other preventive procedures they need.
  • Confidence in protection: IUDs are 99% effective. Removing pain as a barrier could increase adoption—supporting contraceptive autonomy and reducing unintended pregnancies.
  • Human-centered care is trending: Carevix® exemplifies the shift toward empathetic, patient-first gynecology.

Looking Ahead

Carevix® is now commercially available in the U.S., Europe, U.K., and Brazil. With growing adoption and strong clinical evidence behind it, the device stands poised to transform transcervical gynecological care globally.
