Feminine health specialist Daye has expanded access to cervical cancer prevention with the launch of its new HPV Diagnostic Tampon. This convenient at-home test allows users to easily and discreetly screen for 14 high-risk HPV strains. Currently available in the U.K., the kit will expand into the European Union.
The tampon must be inserted into the vagina for 20 minutes to become a sample. After the sample is collected, Daye tests the specimen using cutting edge molecular PCR testing (the most accurate way to detect vaginal infections). Results will be available via a detailed report, including results and summaries of the latest medical research, within five to 10 days.
Daye uses tampons for at-home screening because they provide a non-invasive, familiar, and comfortable method for patients to collect comprehensive samples from their entire vaginal canals. Studies published in the Journal of Human Reproduction and BMC Women's Health have shown that Daye tampons offer improved sensitivity for detecting infections compared to the traditional swab.
