The FDA approved the Teal Wand, a self-administered HPV test that women can use at home, marking a significant shift in cervical cancer screening. Teal Health aims to improve screening rates since over a quarter of U.S. women are behind on tests. Clinical trials indicate the Teal Wand has a 96% accuracy for detecting cervical precancers and encourages an 86% compliance increase in screening when done at home. The device's convenience and comfort could revolutionize cervical cancer prevention efforts.
Cervical cancer is one of the only cancers that is almost entirely preventable with regular screening, yet more than 1 in 4 women in the U.S. are behind.
It's about finally giving women an option that makes sense for their lives - something that can be done quickly and comfortably at home.
Teal Health hopes to increase cervical cancer screening rates by making testing more comfortable and convenient with the Teal Wand.
The same study found that participants were 86% more likely to comply with cervical cancer screening recommendations if they were able to do so from home.
