Definitions

  • the stem 10 includes a longitudinally extending protruding rib 20 adapted to scrape the endocervix upon rotation of the sampling head, and a pair of corresponding longitudinally extending recessed channels 21 disposed on either side of the rib to retain the sample cells scraped from the endocervix by the rib, upon withdrawal of the sampling device.
  • the elastomeric portion 28 of the sampling head is formed in a separate moulding step, and is releasably detachable from the complementary support arms 13 and 17 which are fixedly connected with the handle.
  • the design provides for the substitution of interchangeable elastomeric head portions 28 of different size, shape, or resiliency, to suit . particular applications.
  • a range of interchangeable elastomeric head portions can be provided to enable the sampling device to be tailored to suit individual patients' requirements.
  • a third embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 5, where again, corresponding features are denoted by corresponding reference numerals.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show a fourth embodiment of the invention.
  • the entire sampler is formed from a single suitably flexible material such as polyethylene, or polypropylene as a one piece moulding.
  • the wiping blade 15 and associated support arm 13 which, as best seen in Figure 8, is achieved by a difference in material thickness rather than material type.
  • the web portion 14 defining the scraping blade is relatively thin and correspondingly flexible, thereby enabling it to resiliently deform to accommodate irregularities in the surface profile of the ectocervix during sampling.
  • the support portion 13 is relatively thick in transverse cross section particularly adjacent its base, thereby to provide a relatively rigid support for the remote end of the wiping blade.
