Abstract
A cytology cell sampler for use in collecting mucosal cell samples from a human comprising a handle and a head portion. The handle is grasped by the operator and the head portion is then abutted a patient's mucosal surface for sample collection. The head portion has a first plate and a plurality of secondary plates with the first plate attached to the handle opposite the end grasped by the operator. The first plate has a longitudinal axis generally along a longitudinal axis of the handle, and the plurality of secondary plates project from the first plate generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first plate. There is at least one collection space between the plurality of secondary plates. Each secondary plate has a shaped free edge for contacting the mucosal surface of the human, collecting a sample between the plurality of secondary plates by scraping the mucosal surface with the shaped free edges.
