Pioneering Sex-Based Medicine 4357

COVER STORY

Many medical conditions affect women and men differently. Because of this, specialized treatment is necessary to ensure that the healthcare requirements of each sex are met. Traditional healthcare techniques do not take into account the gender-specific aspects of male and female anatomy and physiology and, therefore, are not as effective in treating certain conditions as approaches specialized for women or men can be.

“Cook Medical recognized the need for healthcare instruments designed specifically with a woman's anatomy and physiology in mind,” says Christina Anné, global leader for Cook Women's Health. “When it launched its specialized women's health business unit, the company became a pioneer in addressing the needs of female patients.”

Cook Women's Health delivers innovative diagnostic and treatment options intended to maximize the quality of patient care and thus improve patient quality of life. This business unit focuses on today's most pressing women's health issues, offering advanced solutions for pelvic floor repair, high-risk obstetrics, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and gynecologic imaging.
