YGR®Tapered Nylon Fiber Cytology Cervical Brush

Intended Use:

This cervical sampling brush is used for:

• Collecting epithelial cell samples from the cervical transformation zone.

• Supporting accurate screening for cervical cancer, HPV infection, and precancerous lesions.

• Providing high-quality cell specimens for liquid-based cytology and related diagnostic methods.

Product Advantages:

• ✅ High Sampling Efficiency: The soft, spiral-shaped nylon bristles are designed to effectively collect sufficient cervical cells, including from the endocervical canal and ectocervix.

• ✅ Minimized Patient Discomfort: Flexible bristles reduce irritation while maintaining efficient cell capture.

• ✅ Single-Use & Sterile: Individually packaged in sterile pouches to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination; ready to use immediately.

• ✅ Reliable Sample Quality: Ensures uniform and representative cellular samples for accurate cytological evaluation.

• ✅ Compatible with TCT/HPV: Optimized for use in modern cervical screening protocols including liquid-based cytology and HPV DNA testing.

Instructions for Use:

1. Preparation:

   • Open the sterile packaging immediately before use.

   • Wear sterile gloves and ensure all instruments are properly prepared.

2. Patient Positioning:

   • Position the patient in the lithotomy position.

   • Insert a vaginal speculum to fully expose the cervix.

3. Sample Collection:

   • Gently insert the brush into the cervical canal so that the bristles contact both the endocervix and ectocervix.

   • Rotate the brush 360–720 degrees (typically 3–5 full turns) in a single direction to collect cells.

4. Sample Transfer:

   • Immediately transfer the collected specimen into a vial containing a liquid-based cytology medium (e.g., for TCT or HPV test), following laboratory protocol.

   • Rinse the brush by swirling it vigorously in the vial 10–15 times or as per local guidelines.

5. Disposal:

   • Dispose of the brush and packaging in a medical waste container according to clinical waste regulations.
