Product Specifications

The Cervex-Brush® (Cervix-Examination Brush) is made of polyethylene and has a total length of 20 centimeters.  The top portion  uses a soft flexible brush to obtain cell samples.  The brush consists of 57 semi-circular plastic bristles of various lengths.  The shape is such that the top edges of the brush follow the contours of the cervix.  The longer middle bristles reach deep into the endocervical canal.  The shorter bristles touch both the ectocervical area and transformation zone at the same time.

Application

All necessary cells can be collected in one movement by inserting the Cervex-Brush® into the cervical canal and rotating four or five times while applying light pressure.  The cell material adheres to the flat sides of the bristles and can be smeared accordingly in a perfect 'track' onto the glass slide.

The softness of the material ensures that no internal injury occurs eliminating blood admixutre and unsatisfactory smears as a result.  This is a comfortable investigation method for both patient and doctor, which above all delivers a visibly good result.
