ABSTRACT:
A planar cervical-vaginal cytological spatula includes a flat manipulating stem with an endocervical sampling head at one end and a broad vaginal sampling head at the other end. The endocervical head includes a wedge shaped forward protuberance adapted for insertion into the endocervical canal. A first edge of the protuberance is coincident with a straight lateral edge of the stem and terminates at a rounded tip of a diameter approximating that of a normal cervical canal. The other edge of the protuberance slopes angularly away from the tip toward the stem at an angle in the order of 18.degree. from the first edge and terminates with a transverse base dimension in the order of twice the diameter of a normal cervical canal at the cervical portio. From the wedge base the sloped edge leads to an undulated transverse squamous sampling surface extending perpendicular to the axis of the stem.
