ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and procedural methods for dislodging cells and/or secretions from the uterine walls and cavity and removing them for various diagnostic purposes includes a barrel having a holder/stabilizer adjustably mounted on its upper end and a stopper assembly including an inflatable element mounted on its outer end. The barrel is positioned such that the stopper assembly is seated in the cervix, and the element is inflated to seal the same and to lock the stopper therein. Then a catheter having spray openings, or a stem having a brush on its outer end, is inserted through the barrel and operated to dislodge cells, which then are removed by aspiration or the like.
