Study Summary

This trial will help researchers learn if a cervical cup can help prevent cervical ripening, which may lead to spontaneous preterm birth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who are scheduled to have a hysterectomy and do not have malignant cervical changes, a very short or long cervix, an unusually narrow or wide cervix, history of certain cervical surgeries like cerclage or LEEP, or collagen vascular disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Hannah Cervical Cup's ability to stiffen the cervix using negative pressure. This could prevent premature birth by stopping early cervical ripening. There are three versions of the cup with different pressure levels being tested.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort during placement or removal of the cup, possible irritation or injury to cervical tissue from the device itself, and reactions to creating negative pressure on the cervix.
