A recent resurgence in the United States of popular interest in the cervical cap has prompted reexamination of its safety and effectiveness as a contraceptive device. Despite widespread use in Europe, few studies are available for evaluation of this non-hormonal, non-invasive barrier method of contraception. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the cap as a "significant risk device" and has limited dispensing of the cap to providers with Investigational Device Exemptions. Use and fitting of the cervical cap are described.
近期在美国，民众对宫颈帽的兴趣再度兴起，这促使人们重新审视其作为一种避孕工具的安全性和有效性。尽管宫颈帽在欧洲广泛使用，但可供评估这种非激素、非侵入性屏障避孕方法的研究却很少。美国食品药品监督管理局将宫颈帽归类为“重大风险器械”，并将其发放限制在获得研究器械豁免的提供者手中。文中描述了宫颈帽的使用方法和佩戴方法。
