Prokineticin 1 and leukemia inhibitory factor mRNA expression in the endometrium of women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss

MedGyn Endosampler was used to determine the expression patterns of prokineticin 1 (PROK1) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in normal fertile women with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

A randomised trial of Medgyn Endosampler® vs Endocurette® in an outpatient hysteroscopy clinic setting

With the increase use of Endometrial biopsy devices like Medgyn’s Endosampler, this study was performed on random trail in a outpatient clinic. The study found Medgyn’s Endosampler to obtain substantially lower insertion rates compared to other sampling devices, which positively reflects the efficiency of Medgyn’s Endosampler.

Endometrial sampling: a comparison between the Pipelle® endometrial sampler and the Endosampler®

A study comparing the adequacy of endometrial sampling by the Endosampler® and the Pipelle® showed that the Endosampler® collected more endometrium than the Pipelle®. This may well translate into a higher adequacy of specimen obtained by the Endosampler®.
