DEVICE FOR COLLECTING DIAGNOSIS MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has flexible tubular conductor with bent working end having openings for receiving biological material and cell sampling brush. Pin is available inside of the conductor with a piston attached to it. The cell sampling brush has flexible elastic structure and members for holding biological material. The cell sampling brush is mounted on the pin near the tubular conductor end cavity movable out for taking biological material samples. The other pin end is bent as a handle at an angle reaching 90° relative to pin axis. It enters a slit manufactured in idle tube end. Slit length is equal to cell sampling brush length. The cell sampling brush flexible elastic structure is manufactured as brush for cleaning bottles or paint brush or as flexible rod having ribs or a bundle of looped threads or as a rod covered with frieze or as riffled rod. Member for holding biological material is manufactured from porolon or from synthetic fibers or from cotton wool.

EFFECT: wide range of functional applications; increased amount of biological material collected from uterine cavities.
