Zusammenfassung:	A cervical inspection device (610) for performing a cervical smear test is provided. The device (610) has a tubular body (612) having a first end (614) which is engagable by an operator and a second end (616) which is insertable into a patient's vaginal canal, the tubular body (612) having a central bore (620) which extends along its longitudinal axis for receiving a cervical sampling brush (622) therethrough. There is also an expansion element (630) at or adjacent to the second end (616) of the tubular body (612) and control means operable from the first end (614) of the tubular body (612) for selectably expanding and/or contracting the expansion element (630). The expansion element (630) forms a protective region beyond the central bore (620) in an expanded condition thereof for the said cervical sampling brush (622) to move through during a cervical smear test.
