ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of obtaining self-administered PAP smears is disclosed which includes a hollow, cylindrical speculum of suitable minimum inside diameter to permit mirror vision therethrough. The speculum is formed with an angled front orifice wherein the front angle between the orifice and the axis of the speculum is particularly designed to easily fit about the cervix. The entire squamocolumnar junction of the uterine cervix is exposed within the front orifice to permit complete wiping, preferably under visual observation through a hand mirror. A hinged, elongated spatula and an angled endocervical sampler are included as part of the test equipment to faciliate the taking of uncontaminated, accurate specimens.
