In this episode Olivia Friett, editor of Medical Plastics News, talks to Leeanne Baker, managing director at IMed Consultancy and Louise Ben-Nathan from LBN Innovations about smear tests and how the lack of comfort can make it an unenjoyable experience and is the reason many women don't go to their smear tests.
LBN Innovations are working to create a less painful experience than with a standard speculum and Louise explains how they hope to eventually have smear tests that can be done completely in the comfort of a woman's home.
