ABSTRACT:
Devices for collecting body fluids and/or detecting the presence of microorganisms. The device is capable of being introduced into a body cavity and to remain therein, this device having an enclosure provided with a capillary structure which is capable of transferring body fluids with microorganisms therein from the exterior to the interior of the enclosure while the latter remains in a body cavity. A structure is provided for completely closing the enclosure in a fully automatic manner after the body fluids have been transferred into the interior of the enclosure, so that in this way the enclosure can reliably remain for an extended period in the body cavity without any fear that microorganisms in the enclosure will return out of the latter back into the body.
