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.

The Speculum Hadn’t Changed in 170 Years

Originally introduced in the mid-1800s, early designs prioritized clinical access—not patient comfort. Made from rigid metal and later disposable plastic, these tools became standard simply because there were no better alternatives.

Medicine evolved. The speculum didn’t.

Why That Matters Today

Why That Matters Today

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

Millions of women delay pelvic exams due to fear, anxiety, or discomfort. For decades, the tools used in these exams were never redesigned with the patient experience in mind—not because clinicians didn’t care, but because innovation stalled.

Nella Is Designed With Doctors, For Women

Nella was developed in collaboration with OB-GYNs who understood two things to be true at the same time:

Pelvic exams are clinically important The experience can be improved

The result is a comfort-focused solution designed to fit seamlessly into clinical practice—while helping women feel more prepared, more comfortable, and more in control.
