Introduction.
Induction of labour (IOL) is a common obstetric intervention utilised in over one third of pregnancies in England1.
Currently no bedside test can predict success of IOL2. The Bishop’s Score (BS) remains the pre-induction cervical assessment of choice despite its’ lack of effectiveness and subjectivity3.
The Pregnolia System is a novel, licensed, CE-marked, aspiration-based device proven to provide objective, quantitative cervical stiffness (CS) measurements (figure 1)4,5.
This is the first clinical, feasibility study to take CS measurements prior to IOL.
