Zusammenfassung:An endometrial sampler comprises a rigid hollow tube having a sampling end providing a plurality of sampling ports communicating with the interior of the tube, and sleeve means surrounding the tube and slidable with respect to it. The tube provides forward stop means and rearward stop means, and the sleeve means and tube are reciprocable with respect to one another between a sampling position in which the sleeve means exposes at least one sampling port, and a second position in which the sleeve means engages the forward stop means and covers the sampling ports. Cervical stop means engages the cervix and cooperates with the rearward stop means to limit travel of the sampling end to a predetermined distance beyond the cervix. A source of suction may be connected to the tube to draw sample material through the sampling ports.
