ABSTRACT:
A culture collecting swabbing tip is carried on one end portion of a small diameter flexible wire which enables the tip to reach into a curved and narrow body passage. A sleeve-type handle is telescoped slidably onto the other end portion of the wire and enables the effective length of the wire to be adjusted so that the wire can fit into an outer transport tube but can be effectively lengthened to reach into a long body passage. The transport tube contains a glass ampoule which may be broken to moisten the swabbing tip with a culture-sustaining transport media after a culture has been collected on the tip.
