Patent

CA 2146574

A pap mear sampling device (1) for use in the detection of cancer cells in the femal cer- vix. The device (1) comprises a sampling head (5) adapted to engage and scrape the surface of the cervix for collection of sample cells, and an elongate handle (6) to permit remote rotation and manipulation of the sampling head (5). The sampling head (5) comprises at least two out- wardly bowed resilient arms (10) extending generally axially from the handle. The arms (10) are disposed to move together into a closed configuration upon insertion into the cervix and thereafter to resiliently expand within the endocervical canal into an open configuration in scraping contact with the endocervix. The arms are adapted flexibly and resiliently to conform to the surface contours of the endocervical canal in the open configuration and to collect sam- ple cells therefrom upon rotation and manipulation of the sampling head (6).
