ABSTRACT:
A method for collecting nasal secretions includes providing a collection apparatus having an elongated collection arm having one end portion adapted for introduction into the nose, a suctioning arm connected to a vacuum source and a collection cup connected to the opposite ends of both arms. Due to the vacuum from the suctioning arm, nasal secretions are drawn from the nose through the collection arm and deposited in the collection cup. The method of the invention includes stimulating the lining of the nose so that an adequate volume of secretions may be collected, then inserting the one end of the collection arm into the nose and causing vacuum to be communicated to the collection arm for drawing nasal secretions therethrough into the collection cup.
