摘要：
Sampler for self-sampling of samples from a body cavity, such as cervical samples. Optimum accessibility of the cervix is achieved through the sampler comprising a rigid plastic tube which is rounded at the front side. During its introduction, the sampler can accurately be moved to the cervix. The sampler is surrounded by the vagina and can prevent leakage of flushing liquid, and it is possible to use a relatively small quantity of flushing liquid while producing a sample with a high concentration of cervical cells. It is possible to reach the sampling location in a simple and more accurate way which does not damage tissue. As a result of the tube simultaneously being designed as a cylinder for a plunger, it is possible, to flush the desired location with a solution using a cylinder-plunger and, to take the sample by drawing the plunger back.
