Magnification: 5x, 8x, 12x

Optics: Green filter, warm LED white light with accurate color rendering similar to a bright halogen lamp.

Battery: Last at least 2 hours of continous use which is sufficient for one to two days screening.

After using it around the world, we really prefer the monopod/arm that we supply – it is portable, easy to maneuver, and has skinny & flat legs that are not obstructive. However, we made the device adaptable to any standard (1/4 in.) tripod.  

Custom optics made in England. 

Electronics in South Africa, Asia.

Each unit is hand-assembled, and individually tested in Sweden. 

We connect the Gynocular with the up-to-date smart phones and the picture is taken, stored and transferred by the phone. We offer both one to one and universal adapters

Yes. In our experience, our customers quickly adapt to using a monocular. It takes a little practice, usually 8-10 patients is more than sufficient. From then on, feedback from customers confirms conducting colposcopy with a monocular colposcope is just as good as using a binocular colposcope.

With the Gynocular, you are able to magnify the image viewed 5x, 8x and 12x. When you switch the Gynocular on, it automatically starts at 8x. If using the green filter option, the Gynocular automatically switches to the 12x magnification as this combination is best suited for viewing cervical lesions in high resolution.

No. The focal distance of the Gynocular is 30cm. Once you have it in focus for one magnification, you can switch between the others without having to readjust the focus yourself, as the Gynocular does this automatically. This differs from standard stationary colposcopes which usually require to have the focus readjusted between magnifications.

No. The Gynocular comes with a rechargeable battery which offers 2 hours continuous illumination. It has been specifically designed for a whole day of clinical examinations. In order to recharge the battery, you simply place the Gynocular in its docking station. 

Yes. We have done clinical studies in Sweden, India, Bangladesh and Uganda, with very successful results. Copies of these are available on our website at  https://gynius.se/articles 

Yes. The Gynocular comes with a plastic sheath enabling it to be attached to any standard camera stand. We also offer a range of stands for purchase, including both mono and tripod varieties. 

Yes. Our clinical studies (copies available on our website) have compared colposcopy examination results between those using a Gynocular versus those using a standard stationary colposcope. The studies have repeatedly shown that the quality of colposcopy examination possible is the same, and that the Gynocular is able to achieve equal results as those obtained from colposcopy via a standard stationary colposcope.

The Gynocular itself cannot be used to take photographs. However, we have developed a smartphone adapter which allows for a smartphone to be mounted to the Gynocular. 

We have developed software, ColpAdvisor, that provides a secure, electronic, clinical records database system, for the storage and transfer of colposcopy examination data. This application, which runs either on Windows desktop computers or on handheld Android devices (thus facilitating a direct integration with the Gynocular hardware), can be used for case discussions, enhancement of patient follow-up and for training purposes, either on- or off-line.

We have conducted a rigorous quality assurance process and estimate that the optics of the Gynocular will operate at 100% for a period of 5 years. After this time their quality may reduce slightly, however not to such an extent so as to prevent colposcopy examination using the Gynocular. 

Standard stationary colposcopes require regular maintenance. The Gynocular has been specifically designed to be free from the need for maintenance, and is intended to be durable presuming it is handled appropriately.

The Gynocular was invented by Swedish gynecologist. As a practicing clinician, our gynecologists are very aware of the limitations posed by standard stationary colposcopes, including their weight, need for regular maintenance and high price. Our gynecologists understand the requirements for conducting a high quality colposcopy examination very well. Thus we invented the Gynocular, which satisfies all the requirements for a high quality colposcopy examination, and with significant improvements relating to its portability (its lightweight and battery powered) and lack of ongoing maintenance requirements.
