Ford Medtech

Principal Investigators: Jackie Ford, MD

Ford Medtech is a company that supports the World Health Organization’s goal of achieving a “cervical cancer-free future.” The company aims to achieve this by providing a simple and easy-to-use medical device alternative to the current methods used for retracting lax or redundant tissue during the speculum examination of the cervix, which is performed frequently. This medical device enables increased visualization of the cervix for optimal examination, which could help improve early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
