We understand that you are often on the front lines: providing care for mothers-to-be, attending births, and caring for newborns. That's why we believe it is important for you to have the latest information about fFN at your fingertips — as well as helpful resources — so you can go on making a difference in your patients' lives.
What Is Fetal Fibronectin Testing?
fFN testing is used for the prediction of preterm birth risk from 22 to 35 weeks of pregnancy. It is the most powerful predictor of preterm birth <32 weeks.¹
