The Utepreva Endometrial Sampler (UP01) is used to obtain endometrial cytological and histological samples.

The Utepreva Endometrial Sampler (UP01) is a single-use, sterile device designed to obtain endometrial cytological and histological samples. The device is an Rx device that functions as follows: The Utepreva Endometrial Sampler is gently inserted though the cervix into the uterus. The skirt (guard) will reach the cervix indicating to the clinician to stop inserting the device. The brush is then extended by pushing the handle until resistance is felt when the tip meets the fundus of the uterus. The sponge on the tip is intended to minimize the risk of piercing of the fundus by the tip of the brush and enables additional tissue sampling by absorption of the fluid and the cells from the uterus. The Utepreva Endometrial Sampler is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner for four or five 360° rotations. Upon completion of the rotations, the handle is pulled back so that the brush and tip are withdrawn into the outer sheath. The suction created by the plunger located inside of the sheath provides aspiration of the cells and prevents loss of the sample from the brush, sponge and any fluid that was aspirated can then be immersed into the preservative solution to be used by the pathology lab. The device materials consist of polydimethylsiloxane, high density polyethylene, cyanoacrylate adhesive, Loctite, Permabond polyolefin primer, stainless steel, Nylon, polycarbonate, and polypropylene. The device is packaged in a Tyvek® pouch. One pouch is then packaged in a unit box. Fifteen unit boxes are packaged within a single master box to create the final shipped product.

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is used to obtain endometrial cytological and histological samples.

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler has a working length of 26.9 centimeters and a 9.3 French outer sheath measuring 21.5 centimeters in length. The outer sheath slides forward and back to cover or expose the bristles of the brush and thus provides protection from contamination when inserting or removing the brush into/from the uterus for the collection of endometrial cell samples. The 9.5 French acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) ball tip allows for an atraumatic insertion of the device through the cervix and into the uterus. The nylon brush bristles cover a 3.5 centimeter length of the stainless steel wire shaft, near the distal tip, and form a brush diameter of 6 millimeters. Additionally, there are two indicators to aid physicians in the use of The Tao Brush" I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler. The first indicator is a notch on the handle of the device which allows the physician to track rotations of the brush while collecting endometrial cell samples. The second indicator is a black ink mark located on the outer sheath about 7 centimeters from the distal tip of the device. Through visual observation of this marker, the physician can more accurately gauge how far the brush has entered the uterus. The Tao Brush I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is sterilized using ethylene oxide, packaged in a Tyvek® polyethylene peel-open pouch, and has a shelf life of three years. The device is intended for one time use.

The MatrixBrush™ Endometrial Sampler is used to obtain endometrial cells for microscopic examination and/or for microbiology cultures.

The MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is a sterile, single-use endometrial tissue sampling device. The MatrixBrush shaft is comprised of a spirally twisted stainless steel core covered by plastic with marked gradations. A nylon brush head at the distal end of the device collects a tissue sample and an atraumatic plastic bulb located on the extreme distal end protects the patient from penetration. A moveable plastic sheath overlies the brush head and device shaft.

Used to obtain endometrial cytological and histological samples.

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is a brush assembly fitted inside a shaft. A coaxial sheath promotes sample protection and there are positioning marks on the end of the shaft. The brush head procures and adequate representative sample of the endometrial and the tip protects the patient from abrasion. The devices are provided sterile and are intended for one time use.
