An intra-vaginal self-administered cell collecting device (10) and method includes inserting a tampon-like telescoping tube (12) intra-vaginally. The tube (12) includes an expandable preformed absorbent member (14) having a textured cover (16). The absorbent member (14) also includes a retrieval member (18) extending therefrom. The tube (12) is manipulated to expel the absorbent member intra-vaginally. The tube (12) is removed and the absorbent member is retained intra-vaginally for a period of time. The absorbent member (14) is retained from expanding from its preform when exposed to vaginal fluids by means of a cover (16) on the absorbent material. The cover (16) also captures soughed-off cells in the vaginal fluids.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de prélèvement cellulaire vaginal autonome (10) et un procédé consistant à introduire, dans le vagin, un tube télescopique (12) ayant la forme d'un tampon. Le tube (12) comprend un élément absorbant préformé expansible (14) doté d'un revêtement texturé (16). L'élément absorbant (14) est également doté d'un élément d'extraction (18) qui s'étend depuis ledit élément absorbant. Le tube (12) est manipulé de manière à expulser l'élément absorbant dans le vagin. Le tube (12) est ensuite retiré, l'élément absorbant étant retenu dans le vagin pendant un certain laps de temps. L'élément absorbant (14) est maintenu par un revêtement (16) déposé sur le matériau absorbant de manière à ne pas dilater sa préforme lorsqu'il est exposé à des sécrétions vaginales. Ledit revêtement (16) récupère également des cellules qui se sont détachées dans les sécrétions vaginales.
