Birth defects caused due to environmental teratogens like drugs, microorganisms or exposure to radiation are called as environmental birth defects.

“Bioceptive’s suction tenaculum is a truly novel gynecologic instrument that permits cervical traction without tissue penetration. This device coupled with Bioceptive’s IUD inserter has the potential to revolutionize IUD insertion by dramatically simplifying the process,” said David Turok, Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Utah.

The device can be used to perform intrauterine device insertions, endometrial biopsies, as various fertility procedures.

Bioceptive works on its own tools that will naturally work in conjunction with the new retractor to simply procedures and it can work with devices produced by other manufacturers as well.
