摘要：
Sampler for self-sampling of samples from a body cavity, such as cervicalsamples. Optimum accessibility of the cervix is achieved through the fact thatthe sampler comprises a rigid plastic tube which is rounded at the front side.As a result, during its introduction by the user, the sampler can accuratelybe moved to the cervix. Moreover, the sampler is surrounded by the vagina andit is possible to prevent leakage of flushing liquid, and consequently it ispossible to make do with a relatively small quantity of flushing liquid whileat the same time producing a sample with a high concentration of cervicalcells. In this way, it is possible to reach the sampling location in a simpleand more accurate way which does not damage tissue. As a result of the tubesimultaneously being designed as a cylinder for a plunger, it is possible,firstly, to flush the desired location with a solution using a cylinder-plunger assembly obtained in this way and, secondly, to take the sample bydrawing the plunger back.
