摘要：
Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for treating and/or monitoring a patient with a prematurely dilated cervix during pregnancy or a patient with a history of a prematurely dilated cervix in a previous pregnancy. The systems, devices, and methods described herein further provide monitoring of the status of a cervix by, for example, sensing a change associated with the cervix of a patient. The systems, devices, and methods described herein are configured to either partially or completely encircle the cervix of a patient and constrict the encircled cervix. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein comprise a first and a second coupler that reversibly couple together so that these embodiments are configured to be manually placed (i.e. the couplers are coupled together) and then either removed or adjusted by a healthcare provider (i.e. the couplers are decoupled from each other).
