Today, we're celebrating the remarkable journey of our CEO, Fahti, a trailblazing woman on a mission to revolutionize women's healthcare. Fahti's passion and commitment to drive the research is rooted in many years of expertise at a life science consulting firm. But Fahti's story goes beyond her professional achievements. A decade ago, she embarked on a deeply personal journey of fertility treatments. Over three grueling years, she faced numerous miscarriages and self-administered hundreds of shots, displaying incredible resilience. However, it was during this challenging period that something stood out to Fahti - the outdated metal speculum used during her exams. Upon digging deeper, she uncovered an unsettling truth: the speculum, invented in the 1800s by Dr. Marion Sims, was used on enslaved women. The plastic alternative, still in use today, was invented almost 50 years ago! In this day and age, Fahti found it simply unacceptable that such a vital tool for women's health had never seen innovation and modernization. So, she took it upon herself to make a change. Fahti's mission was to create a speculum that prioritizes comfort and ensures that all women have access to advanced, modern healthcare. You can check it out over on the @NellaSpeculum page! Here she is pictured with Sports journalist Erin Andrews during the Game Changers for Women event. We couldn't be prouder to have a CEO who is such an outspoken advocate for women! #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #WomenInHealthcare #ChooseWomen #womensupportingwomen #femaleceo

Modern Devices in Women’s Health GYN Exams
关于我们
Our women-led team has created the first speculum designed with the patient in mind. Advances in women's healthcare continue to lag far behind those seen in other healthcare fields. We know the experience can be better for both patients and providers. Our goal is to address these unmet needs and develop products that transform every patient's experience in the exam room. At Ceek Women's Health, we believe a human-centered design approach leads to products that improve gynecological care for all. Our Nella? product line includes the NuSpec?, a redesigned vaginal speculum built for patient comfort, the VuSleeve?, an innovative single-use sheath, and the VuLight?, a single-use LED illuminator.

We are grateful for all the forensic nurses out there supporting women all around the world. Forensic nurses provide care and compassion to their patients in sensitive situations -- they should have the tools they need to ensure accuracy and as much comfort as possible. Our @NellaSpeculum can also support forensic work by providing greater visibility and comfort during examinations.

Who here is headed to ISSWSH in Scottsdale, AZ? Ceek will be there! Head over to Booth #103 Nov. 6-9 to talk with us about innovative solutions for your patients! The International Society for the Study of Womens Sexual Health (ISSWSH) fall course 2024 will provide clinicians with an evidence-based foundation upon which to incorporate this ability into practice when treating women with sexual health concerns. Sexual health and pelvic pain are such important components to overall health and wellbeing in the women's health space. More and more clinicians are building this into their women's healthcare practices, but they also need the tools to support patients suffering with pelvic pain. At Ceek we are motivated to share the @nellaspec with clinicians as an option to help them provide the most comfortable care possible to their patients. Can't wait to share more with you in Scottsdale!

Let's talk about Ovarian Cancer. Even though it is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women, it still remains difficult to diagnose. That's why it's so important to raise awareness - especially about early detection. Early detection is key to improving survival rates for ovarian cancer. So patients being proactive by getting regular pelvic exams is a must! But sometimes the pelvic exam is fraught with anxiety or pain. If you or your patients are worried about anxiety or pain during your pelvic exam, there are other speculum options out there like the @NellaSpeculum that can help. #OvarianCancer #EarlyDetection #WomensHealth #obgyn #womenshealthcare

"I love that metal speculum at my OBGYN's," said no woman ever. The age-old standby is uncomfortable, clunky and cold! (So cold!) But here’s a wonderful truth—two, actually: There are other options. Patients are starting to ask their clinicians to switch. Nella, a new modern speculum, was designed with women’s comfort top of mind. It’s slim, smooth and made of polymer instead of metal, so it’s always a comfortable temperature. Talking about comfort is an important step towards a pain and anxiety-free exam. Because patients deserve the most comfortable experience possible.
