ABSTRACT:
The device is usable by a patient to self-obtain a relatively constant volume stool sample for use in testing for gastro-intestinal bleeding. The device is a multi-layered pad which can be dispensed by a physician or the like to the patient and which the patient can use in privacy. The device is used in the same manner as toilet tissue to obtain the stool sample after defecation. Excess stool sample is discarded in the toilet and an appropriate amount of the stool sample is retained on the pad. The pad is then sealed and returned to the physician or testing laboratory hermetically sealed. The seal is broken, the test is performed, and then the pad is resealed hermetically and discarded.
