ABSTRACT:
A cervical sampling apparatus includes a curved, hollow tube having an outside diameter of 5/8 inches, a working length of 31/2 inches, and a radius of curvature of 91/2 inches. A paddle-shaped sampling member is normally housed within one end of the tube, and a flexible shaft extends from the sampling member through the opposite end of the tube for selectively extending the sampling member to a sampling position outside the tube, for rotating the sampling member in the sampling position and for retracting the sampling member into the tube. Preferably, the sampling member is transparent and is separable from the shaft, so that a specimen taken on the sampling can be analyzed without removal therefrom.
