Sponsor's own description
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new antenatal test of cervical stiffness can be used to predict which patients will have a successful vaginal delivery following an induction of labour. A licensed, CE-marked, vacuum-aspiration device called the Pregnolia system has been developed to give quantitative cervical stiffness index score during pregnancy. The CASPAR study will compare cervical stiffness scores to bishop's scores prior to induction of labour and correlate the results to the outcome of delivery.
