Why Use Laminaria?
Laminaria is a versatile tool used for various gynecological and obstetric procedures due to its natural ability to gently and effectively dilate and soften the cervix. Key applications include:

- Softening of the Cervix: Prepares the cervix for procedures such as labor induction or surgical interventions.
- Cervical Stenosis: Useful in cases of cervical stenosis, which can be related to:
- Dysmenorrhea: Painful menstruation often linked to cervical narrowing.
- Infertility: Cervical stenosis is sometimes considered a possible cause.
- Post-Procedure Complications: Stenosis resulting from cauterization or conization.
Laminaria is also employed for:
- Placement and Removal of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Aids in safe and effective IUD management.
- Induction of Labor: Used to promote cervical ripening before labor.
- Improving Visualization at Colposcopy: Enhances the view during colposcopic examination.
- Drainage of Uterine Cavity: Helps in clearing the uterine cavity of fluids or other substances.
- Endometrial Biopsy: Facilitates access to the endometrium for sampling.
- Uterine Curettage: Assists in the safe and effective scraping of the uterine lining.
- Suction Cannula Aspiration: Eases the insertion of suction cannulas for aspiration procedures.
