Effectiveness and Safety of Disposable Cervical Dilators for Diagnosis and Treatment of Gynecological Diseases

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of disposable cervical dilators (dPCD) for diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases. Methods: A total of 60 gynecological women inducted dilated cervix by dPCD in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from July 2012 to May 2013 were recorded and analyzed. According to whether to use dPCD for dilated cervixing or not, they were divided into experimental group (n = 31, use) and control group (n = 29, not use). The intraoperative and postoperative analgesia, dilatation of cervix, and the incidence of adverse events were analyzed and compared. Results: The general clinical data of two groups were compared with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Observation group compared with the control group: pain effective rate was 35.5% and 89.7%; cervical injury was 12.9% and 72.4%; no resistance through cervical dilator was 100% and 69%; there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Group effectiveness is 100% and effectiveness is 79.3% in the control group. Conclusions: Disposable cervical dilators with good analgesic effect are safe and effective in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic diseases, so it is worthy of clinical use.
