Gynemed Brush
Gynemed Brush
Trans or Cervical Collector
Collecting a more abundant and site specific cellular
sample translates
to an overall improvement in quality
of the Pap test slide preparation.
FDA Approved.
For use with Liquid-Based Pap Tests and Conventional Smears
Independant Study
Independent Review Board Study
Four hundred Pap test samples were collected using the Gynemed Trans Os Cervical Sampler.
The patients were selected based on non high-risk criteria. All patients had a WNL Pap result within the last 12-14 months, were not pregnant, and no abnormal clinical findings present at the time of sampling.
The tests were split evenly between conventional and liquid based slide preparations, and screened blindly by licensed reviewers.
Most of us agree that the liquid based Pap test is here to stay.
But with all the LBC choices available, the one factor that continues to limit the adequacy and sensitivity of these technologies, is the specimen collection procedure.
Over the last decade, many new devices have been approved by the FDA attempting to improve on this Pap collection procedure. Each of these devices has met with limited success due to the complexity of the steps required.
The Gynemed Trans Os cervical collector extracts optimal diagnostic material and releases virtually all that material into the collection fixative.
Conclusions:
Based on the IRB Study, these conclusions suggest:
- Increased cellular volume collected and transferred to the vial.
- Increased presence of Endocervical/Transformation Zone components.
- Significant increase in abnormal detection rate.
- Significant decrease in QNS and limited cases.*
