  • Patent number: 9131875
    Abstract: A device for measuring a length of a cervix includes an elongate measurement member extending along a longitudinal axis and including a measurement scale thereon, a hollow member coaxial with and disposed over the elongate measurement member, a flange offset from the longitudinal axis and attached to a distal end of the hollow member, a handle attached to a proximal end of the measurement member, and a locking mechanism on the handle. The hollow member is freely rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the measurement member to place the flange in a first position and in a second position perpendicular to the first position without moving the measurement scale. The locking mechanism is configured, when locked, to fix the hollow member relative to the measurement member and, when unlocked, to allow the hollow member to slide axially along the measurement member in the first and second positions.

  • Patent number: 6994678
    Abstract: The present invention provides several devices and methods for determining dimensions of female reproductive organs. In one embodiment, a device for determining a dimension of a female reproductive organ includes a hollow member having a lumen, a measurement member insertable into the lumen of the hollow member and having a measurement scale disposed along a proximal portion, and a flange having a body offset substantially perpendicular to the hollow member. A device having a measurement member with a distal end extending substantially perpendicular to a main body, and an outer member with an open face and a space for advancement therethrough of the measurement member, wherein the outer member slidably engages the measurement member, is also provided.
