Abstract

See full text

A breast exudate expression device includes a frame and a pair of opposed, elongate compression members attached to the frame and spaced from one another. The compression members are mounted to the frame for movement toward one another from an open position to a constriction position. The compression members are maintained in opposing relationship to one another by the frame and are adapted to receive a human breast nipple therebetween. The compression members express a fluid aliquot from the nipple for use in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing breast diseases. A method of collecting a breast exudate utilizing a device as well as kits for collecting a breast exudate are also described.
