Cervical cancer is the most preventable of all forms of cancer, and yet it is the most common cancer affecting women in Thailand today. With adequate screening regimens and use of the right technology, early signs and risk factors can be detected and managed.
Winnergy Holding’s Women Healthcare division offer the world’s leading technologies for comprehensive cervical cancer screening and diagnosis, promoting a healthier future for Thailand.
In addition to cervical cancer, the Winnergy Holding’s Women Healthcare division is committed to many aspects of healthcare for female patients.
Our range of products is constantly expanding, now including Maternal fetal medicine specialized which are Down’s syndrome and genetic screening test, pregnancy monitoring and cervical dilators.
The ThinPrep Pap Test was one of the first Pap tests to utilise liquid-based cytology, the most significant advance in cervical cancer screening technology since the Pap test was first introduced. The ThinPrep Pap Test was launched in 1996 and quickly adopted as the most widely used Pap test in the USA- since then, invasive cervical cancers in the country have dropped by nearly 30%.
Benefits of The ThinPrep Pap Test include increased screening accuracy and superior patient comfort: multiple tests can be performed using one sample specimen, limiting the need for further samples to be collected. In addition, The ThinPrep Pap Test provides screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) making it an invaluable step in establishing all-round awareness of a patient’s state of health.
Boost the strengths of The ThinPrep Pap Test by using the ThinPrep Imaging System with Dual Review. Combining the benefits of automated hardware screening and manual review by cytotechnologists, the ThinPrep Imaging System with Dual Review increases the probability of detecting abnormalities
and reduces false negative test results.
Chromosome are structures inside cells. They carry heredity information that guide our bodies how to grow and develop. Most people have 23 pairs of chromosome. The first 22 pairs are called autosome, and the 23rd pair are chromosome related to gender-the X and Y chromosome. Females usually have two Xs, and males have one X and one Y.
Aneuploidy is a condition which the number of chromosome is not exact 23 pairs. An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders including human birth defects. The most common chromosome aneuploidies are trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome).
Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is fetal DNA circulating freely in the maternal blood stream during pregnancy. It can be sampled by venipuncture on the mother. The test uses a technology called
“Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)” to count the number of copies of these chromosome, and then uses a calculation method to determine if there are chromosomal aneuploidies. By using this powerful biotechnology, we provide 99% accuracy especially Trisomy 21, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 from a single blood drawn (one tube) early as 10 weeks estimated gestational age and report within 8 business days.
identifies high-risk HPV infections by targeting E6/E7 mRNA. Studies show that targeting E6/E7 mRNA identifies the presence and activity of a high-risk HPV infection. The Aptima HPV assay represents the next generation in cervical cancer screening - allowing clinicians to deliver maximum benefits to patients, while minimizing potential harm.
The Aptima HPV assay identifies those patients at greatest risk for developing cervical cancer, delivering the same excellent sensitivity to minimize false negative results. In fact, the Aptima HPV assay demonstrates the same excellent sensitivity as DNA-based HPV tests in numerous clinical studies involving over 50,000 women worldwide.
Unique features of the Aptima HPV assay include: The same excellent sensitivity. Increased specificity compared to DNA-based tests. FDA-approved for use with the ThinPrep Pap test. Aligned with cervical cancer screening guidelines.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most commonly reported notifiable sexually transmitted bacterial infections. In the United States there are over 3 million new cases annually and worldwide the World Health Organization estimates the annual incidence of chlamydia to be 105.7 million and 106.1 million for gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that only 38% of sexually active young women are screened annually for chlamydia in the United States and that up to 75% of CT infected women are asymptomatic contributing to as many as 30% of CT infections progressing to PID which has been shown to cause permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system including infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy.

to provide clinicians and laboratories with a human papillomavirus (HPV) test in which they can have the utmost confidence.
Cervista HPV HR tests for all 14 oncogenic strains of HPV. The specialised internal control safeguards against false negatives due to insufficient cellularity, and there is no cross-reactivity with common low-risk HPV types that could otherwise cause false positive results.
Cervista HPV HR is the ideal next stage after an ASC-US Pap test result. The cytology results from Cervista HPV HR test indicate whether or not referral to colposcopy is necessary. With the superlative accuracy of Cervista HPV HR, clinicians, laboratories and patients can rest assured that the course of patient care will be defined strictly by their needs, not misleading results.
12 out of every 100 children born in Thailand are delivered preterm. Preterm birth is the most common cause of health problems in newborns today. Certain physical symptoms typically indicate that a mother is at risk of delivering prematurely. However, such symptoms can also occur when risk is low and, on the other hand, are sometimes absent leading up to a preterm birth.
The fFN test presents a more reliable method of determining the likelihood of preterm birth. Administered similarly to a Pap test, the fFN test is a safe and non-invasive method of measuring fFN levels in vaginal secretions. Usually, fFN can only be detected at the beginning of pregnancy and towards full term. Detectable levels of fFN from weeks 22 to 35 of pregnancy are a strong indicator that the patient is at high risk of delivering their baby preterm. The fFN is valuable too for its role in identifying patients who are not at risk for preterm birth. Mothers whose symptoms would otherwise be addressed with medication or bed rest can avoid disruption to their daily lives.
