Why Nella?
Because routine care shouldn’t feel anything but routine.
Pelvic exams are a necessary part of women’s healthcare—but for many women, they’re associated with fear, discomfort, and anxiety.
For decades, the tools used during these exams haven’t meaningfully changed.
Nella was created to change that experience—without changing the care itself.

Why That Matters Today
The speculum is central to one of the most common—and most avoided—medical exams.
