This is a big deal

The Pap smear experience hasn’t changed in 80+ years, now there is another way.

Cervical cancer is nearly 100% preventable with routine screening. If everyone screened routinely, we could eliminate cervical cancer for good.
Yet, 1 in 4 US women are not up-to-date.

Help us spread the word and encourage your loved ones to get screened.

Backed by a rigorous clinical trial with the leading experts and organizations in healthcare

The Teal Wand is clinically proven

The Teal Wand uses the same FDA-approved HPV tests that are recommended by the American Cancer Society (ACS) and USPSTF and used by the doctor’s office - it is simply a different way of collecting the sample.
