apparatus for the cervical smear (pap test)

摘要

Apparatus for taking samples of cells of small tumors with the aid of fine-needle puncturing techniques. The apparatus includes a hand-grip (1) having removably connected thereto a syringe provided with a thin cannula (2). The cannula (2) is connected, via a coupling (18), to a motor (12,13,15,16) which can be energized for driving the cannula (2) in an oscillating, reciprocatory movement. The cannula (2) is connected to a container (4) having arranged for movement therein a suction plunger (5), which is arranged to create a vacuum in the cannula (2), for drawing a cell sample thereinto.
