Advanced Double Lumen DesignThe double lumen architecture of the Upper GI Cytobrush enables simultaneous suction or irrigation during sampling procedures. This feature streamlines workflow, enhances cell collection efficiency, and maximizes sample integrity by reducing cross-contamination, making it suitable for precise upper gastrointestinal cytological diagnostic applications.
Gentle Yet Effective Cell CollectionEquipped with a soft, atraumatic, rounded brush tip and smooth sheath, the cytobrush ensures gentle contact with mucosal surfaces. The innovative design facilitates high-yield cellular sampling while minimizing trauma and discomfort for patients undergoing diagnostic procedures for malignancy, infection, or abnormal cell growth.
Universal Compatibility and ComplianceThis cytobrush is compatible with all standard upper GI endoscopes fitted with channels of 2.3 mm or greater. It meets international standards, including CE marking and ISO 13485 certification, ensuring adherence to safety and quality benchmarks required in clinical settings worldwide.
FAQ's of Upper GI Cytobrush for Cell Sampling (Double Lumen) - 2.3 mm 170 cm:
Q: How is the Upper GI Cytobrush for Cell Sampling (Double Lumen) used during endoscopic procedures?
A: The cytobrush is manually inserted through the working channel of a standard upper GI endoscope (2.3 mm) and used under real-time endoscopic visualization. Its design allows for simultaneous suction or irrigation while brushing mucosal surfaces to collect cellular samples.
Q: What are the benefits of the double lumen design in this cytobrush?
A: The double lumen design optimizes sampling efficiency by permitting suction or irrigation alongside cell collection. This dual functionality enhances sample purity and reduces mucosal trauma, resulting in higher diagnostic accuracy.
Q: When should this cytobrush be used in clinical practice?
A: It is intended for cytological sampling in patients requiring diagnosis of malignancy, infection, or abnormal cellular growth in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum, and is suitable for procedures that demand accurate cell retrieval.
Q: Where can this cytobrush be applied in the gastrointestinal tract?
A: The brush is designed for use in the upper GI tract, specifically for cellular material collection from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum under endoscopic guidance.
Q: What is the process for cytological sampling using the brush?
A: After insertion through the endoscope channel, the brush is gently rotated or moved along the target mucosal area. Cellular material adheres to the soft brush bristles and is subsequently retrieved for cytological analysis.
Q: What advantages does the soft, rounded brush tip offer during sampling?
A: The atraumatic, rounded tip ensures gentle contact, minimizes mucosal injury, reduces patient discomfort, and enables high cellular yield to improve sample quality and reliability.
Q: Can the Upper GI Cytobrush for Cell Sampling be reused, and how should it be stored before use?
A: This product is designed strictly for single use and should not be reused. Store unused brushes in a cool, dry environment, protected from direct sunlight, to ensure a shelf life of 3-5 years.
