Changing the Pain Game with Ikram Guerd of Aspivix

We are long overdue for a modern tenaculum that’s gentler on women - no more uncomfortable, painful IUD insertions. Ikram Guerd, VP of Global Marketing & Managing Director US at Aspivix, is on a mission to reimagine gynecology with “gentle” in mind, resulting in less pain and bleeding - as well as increased comfort in transcervical procedures. Learn the ins and outs of the Carevix device and greater patient satisfaction. Oh, and it is more cost-effective, too. This episode covers everything from IUDs to the tenaculum. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

• What is Aspivix?

• How does the Carevix work?

• What metrics do they use?

• How do they track pain?

• Is the Carevix disposable?

• What is the price of the Carevix?

• Is the Carevix approved in the US?

• When can patients start asking for the Carevix?

Tune in to this episode to learn how Carevix is literally changing the game (and the pain), replacing the tenaculum with something far better!
