ABSTRACT:
In a device for obtaining a smear sample from a body cavity, in particular the uterus mouth or cervix, a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles (3) is connected to a carrier (2) provided at one end of a stem (1). In order to ensure that cells from all the portions of the body cavity are sampled the bristles (3) extend substantially parallel to the stem (1) and the bristles (3) each have at least one longitudinal sharp edge (6). The said sharp edge (6) is adapted to scrape cells from the body cavity when the device is rotated about the stem axis.
