A cervical cytology brush is a medical device used to collect tissue samples from the cervix during a vaginal examination. It features bristle-like projections that are rotated over suspicious or visible exocervical lesions to obtain a bloody-mucoid sample for histopathological analysis, often to detect intraepithelial disease.
This device is designed for single-use only and is typically supplied sterile. After sample collection, the specimen is either fixed in a cytology solution or smeared onto a slide for a Papanicolaou (PAP) test. Regulation of such devices focuses on their single-use nature and intended use in cervical cancer screening and diagnostic procedures.
