This utility model belongs to the field of camel
disease prevention and control testing technology, and particularly relates to a camel esophageal pharyngeal epithelial
cell and
mucus collection device. Addressing the problems of existing collection components being made of hard materials and having a fixed structure, making them unsuitable for the camel
esophagus, prone to getting stuck, difficult to penetrate deeply, and easily causing mucosal abrasion and
inflammation, thus affecting camel health,
sample quality, and diagnosis, the following solution is proposed: a camel esophageal pharyngeal epithelial
cell and
mucus collection device, including a sampling sleeve with a sampling head at one end; the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sampling sleeve uses a memory
metal inner core to conform to the curvature of the
esophagus; the outer protective sleeve and arc-shaped protective cover are made of medical-grade
silicone to reduce friction and
irritation; the arc-shaped protective cover
sponge contains veterinary
anesthetic for slow-release and
pain reduction during
insertion; the low-trauma rotating soft
brush reduces mucosal damage; the sampling head soft
brush and
absorbent cotton simultaneously collect cells and
mucus; the connecting rod structure allows the sampling head to rotate, improving the comprehensiveness of collection; and the sampling head is easy to disassemble and clean to prevent
contamination.
