With a completely integrated endocervical sampler the new Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi allows for easy application in the majority of cases and provides optimal results.
Rovers Medical Devices has engineered a new Pap smear collection device which combines the important features of the original Rovers® Cervex-Brush® with the benefits of the Rovers® EndoCervex-Brush®. The convenient Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi provides doctors and nurses the option of a simultaneous Pap smear collection with a single device insertion. The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi will collect both ectocervical and endocervical cells from patients.
The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi is a new patented, high tech product capable of delivering higher cellular yield of endocervical cells than the traditional Rovers® Cervex-Brush®. Laboratory tests have also indicated an increased viral load in the collected cell material.
The Rovers® Cervex-Brush® Combi was developed for two main reasons:
- Easy and effective application of the device.
- Improved endocervical sampling.
