Ceek Women's Health's Nella NuSpec Selected as One of TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2020


PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ceek Women's Health, a groundbreaking women-led medical device company, is proud to announce that the Nella NuSpec Reusable Vaginal Speculum has been selected as one of TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2020. The annual list recognizes 100 groundbreaking inventions that are making the world better, smarter, and more fun.

The Nella NuSpec was developed in partnership with OBGYN providers and patients through an extensive 5-year R&D process.  The reusable vaginal speculum commonly used today is made from metal and has not changed much from those developed over 150 years ago.  The NuSpec is the first major redesign of the reusable vaginal speculum that takes into account both the patient experience along with unmet provider needs.

For 2020, TIME gathered nominations from its editors and correspondents around the world and through an online application process. Products were evaluated on factors including originality, effectiveness, ambition and impact.

"Being acknowledged by TIME as one of the 100 Best Inventions of 2020 is a dream come true.  It is a testament to the rigorous development and design process at Ceek. The Nella NuSpec is a game-changer in the care patients receive, and we are proud to be recognized as a leader in our field," says Fahti Khosrowshahi, CEO and founder of Ceek Women's Health.

The NuSpec Reusable Vaginal Speculum is part of the Nella line of products designed by Ceek Women's Health, which also includes two accessory products. The Nella VuSleeve, an easy-to-apply clear sheath that provides lateral sidewall retraction, and the Nella VuLight, a single use LED illuminator for superior illumination, both can be used with most reusable and disposable vaginal specula.
