Wallach papette cervical cell collector, sterile
A sterile smear brush,
liquid-based, type B is a type of medical sample collection tool used for
collecting specimens for gynecological cytology, such as a Pap test. The brush
is a long, thin, flexible plastic or metal wand with bristles at one end used
to gently collect cells from the cervix or vagina. 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 "type B"
designation refers to the type of bristles on the brush, which are designed for
use in liquid-based cytology systems. The use of a sterile smear brush helps to
reduce the risk of contamination of the collected sample.
