Abstract

A cervical sampling system for collecting a cervical sample for a Pap test. The cervical sampling system includes an insertion tube (2) and an introduction guide member (20) that guides the insertion tube (2) into a vaginal cavity. The vaginal insertion tube (2) includes an insertion depth indicator (12) to allow the user to determine the appropriate depth to insert the tube (2). A cervical sampler (50) is positioned within the vaginal insertion tube (2) and extends into the vaginal cavity to collect samples. The insertion tube (2) and cervical sampler (50) include signalling members which cooperate to indicate to the user when the cervical sample (50) has been rotated through a complete revolution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improved device and system for obtaining samples of cervical tissue and / or vaginal secretions whereby developing cancer cells can be detected. The invention also relates to an improved method of collecting such samples using the sampling device. Background technique [0002] Unlike many cancers that produce painful, noticeable lumps or other early symptoms, cervical cancer has no telltale warning signs until it has progressed beyond treatment. Only in advanced stages does uterine cancer produce pain or other noticeable symptoms in the lower abdominal or back area. Tests that provide early detection of cervical, uterine and vaginal cancers are extremely important for effective treatment and recovery. A Pap smear test commonly known as the Pap test (Pap test for early cancer detection) has long been established as a very useful diagnostic tool for identifying precancerous and cancerous tissue at a very early stage of...
