Pap smear brush - liquid-based, type D Sterile
A sterile brush for liquid-based cervical cytology, is a type of medical sample collection tool used for Pap test. The brush is with a long, thin, flexible plastic handle with silicone bristles at one end used to gently collect cells from the cervix. The collected cells are then transferred to a liquid-based medium, such as a preservative solution, for transportation to the laboratory for analysis. The use of a liquid-based medium allows for a more accurate and reliable analysis of the collected cells compared to traditional, smear-based methods. The use of a sterile brush in liquid-based cytology helps to reduce the risk of contamination of the collected sample.
