| abstract |
The endometrial aspirator has a tubular sheath or body which serves to receive a histological biopsy sample. The tube is closed at the distal tip and has a sample curette opening directly behind the tip. A rod extends to the opening, and at the proximal user end, extends out of the tubular body. The rod fits closely within the tube or preferably has an enlarged piston at the sample curette opening end. The distal tip is smooth, rounded and closed for ease of insertion. The body and rod are made of flexible material which is sufficiently stiff to prevent kinking during insertion. |
