LIONESS

LIONESS is a smartly structured silicone ring placed in the vagina and secured high around the uterine cervix. The device is placed by the physician as an outpatient procedure that takes only a few moments.

​

LIONESS maintains it's position on the cervix despite pressure and contractions, avoids cervical dilatations, reduces load, keeps the cervix elongated and delays the biomechanical cascade leading to preterm birth.
