SILCS diaphragm: summary of clinical evaluations

The SILCS design features, like the contoured shape and patented spring technology, allow for one size of diaphragm to fit most women and overcomes issues that have limited broad use of earlier diaphragms. This means the product could be provided over the counter, and with minimal clinical support where allowed by regulatory approval and service delivery guidelines. This is especially important since provider time and resources in developing countries are limited.
