Zusammenfassung:A ductal sampling device comprises an elongate shaft comprising a proximal end portion and a distal end portion comprising a textured scraping body, and a sheath configured to slide over the elongate shaft to alternatively cover and cover the textured scraping body. A method of collecting biological matter using a ductal sampling device comprises inserting the ductal sampling device into anatomy of a patient, guiding a textured scraping body of the ductal sampling device to a target tissue, grating the textured scraping body against the target tissue, and collecting biological matter from the target tissue with the textured scraping body.
