Confronting patients with a cold, clunky, metal spec can be terrifying! But here’s a wonderful truth—two, actually: There are other options. And 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.

About us
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.

Menopause can cause a lot of changes for patients. Including discomfort during cervical exams. Whether it is due to dryness, vaginal atrophy or declining estrogen levels causing vaginal tissues to thin. Because these changes shouldn’t mean patients skipping their regular exams. That’s exactly why we created the Nella Comfort Kit: Menopause — with the Time Magazine Invention of the Year Nella Speculum which is slim, quiet, & designed for comfort at every stage of a patient's of life. Let’s not just normalize talking about menopause. Let’s also redesign how it’s treated. And let’s demand comfort in every season of patients' lives.

Tomorrow we're headed to the ASCCP Comprehensive Colposcopy conference in Atlanta, GA! We can't wait to connect with healthcare professionals dedicated to improving women's cervical health outcomes. At Ceek Women's Health, we believe every procedure should prioritize patient comfort alongside clinical excellence. That's where our VuSleeve comes in – a single-use tissue retraction sheath that provides unobstructed cervical access and sidewall protection: - making colposcopy procedures easier for providers and more comfortable for patients - In 80% of exams, VuSleeve helped providers visualize and access the patient's cervix better - keeping procedures timely while providing a protective barrier during electrocautery procedures The VuSleeve can also be paired with our Nella NEXT reusable speculum. It's a modern take on the traditional bi-valve speculum with a wider bill and aperture opening for procedures, NEXT fits a broad range of patients comfortably, easing cervical access and preventing pinching with it’s smart design. It is coming to our website soon -- so stop by our booth to learn about how the NEXT speculum can help with colposcopy procedures!

For decades, menopause has been whispered about instead of researched. Dismissed instead of treated. But not anymore. Innovation in women's healthcare isn't optional-it's essential. We're headed to The Menopause Society Annual Meeting. We look forward to connecting with researchers, clinicians, and advocates who are transforming menopause care for the better. Because women's health can't wait. Innovation can't wait. The future is now!

For over 60 years, modern contraception has transformed women's healthcare—but this progress is not guaranteed. Around the world, access to contraception and reproductive rights face growing threats that could roll back decades of advancement. Now more than ever, we must stand firm in our advocacy. Every patient deserves the power to make informed choices about their body, their family, and their future. The path forward requires our voices, our action, and our unwavering commitment. Because women's health should always include a patient being able to choose. A choice for all – agency, intention, access. And if you DO choose to start of family, Ceek believes you should have access to more comfortable and dignified care. The @Nella Speculum Comfort Kit Maternity makes exams more manageable. Featuring a slim, quiet speculum designed with patients in mind. Small changes in tools can make a big difference in how you're treated.

This last week, we had the privilege of connecting with midwifery and women's health leaders at the American College of Nurse-Midwives ACNM Annual Meeting. Being surrounded by over 2,000+ CNMs, CMs, researchers, policymakers, and community advocates all working toward the same mission reminded us again why we do what we do. You all are on the frontlines of women's healthcare every single day, advocating for better outcomes and pushing the nurse midwife field forward. The energy around positive change and innovation in gynecological care is real. We had incredible conversations with midwives and women's health leaders about the barriers they face—and the solutions they're seeking. We shared our vision for products designed with both patients and clinicians in mind, because great healthcare requires tools that work for everyone. The work of advancing women's healthcare requires partnership—and we're honored to be part of this community 💜
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating National Midwifery Week! We’re grateful for your support, participation, and commitment to honoring the work of midwives across the country. Let’s continue to uplift and advocate for midwifery all year long!

The world faces unprecedented challenges that disproportionately affect women, girls, and gender-diverse people—limiting access to essential health services and increasing risks like pregnancy complications and sexual violence. Midwives are critical first responders who strengthen health systems during crises. They can provide up to 90% of sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, and adolescent health services, even in complex humanitarian settings, making them the heart of women's healthcare. To every midwife who blends clinical excellence with compassionate care, who witnesses our vulnerability and champions our strength: your work transforms lives one birth at a time. We celebrate your important role in protecting the health and dignity of patients worldwide.

As a mother of two daughters and founder of Ceek Women's Health, our CEO Fahti's mission is deeply personal: ensuring the next generation doesn't have to endure what we've endured. When she looks at her daughters, she sees a future where routine pelvic exams don't have to be something women dread or avoid. Fahti knew there had to be a better way. For too long, women have accepted discomfort and anxiety as part of routine healthcare. But Fahti envisions a different world for her daughters—one where women's comfort and dignity are prioritized. That vision drives everything we do at Ceek. We're not just innovating medical devices; we're transforming how patients experience healthcare, and supporting clinicians with modern tools — one exam at a time. To all the daughters out there: you deserve healthcare designed with your comfort in mind!
