Nuevo Colector Endometrial New Endometrial Collector
La presente invención se refiere al sector de los productos médicos para obtener muestras de endometrio. The present invention relates to the field of medical products for obtaining endometrial samples.
DESCRIPCIÓN Y VENTAJAS DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTAGES
Se trata de un nuevo colector endometrial para obtener muestras de endometrio sin invadir en forma alguna a la mujer, con el objetivo de identificar la presencia de patologías en el útero. Ofrece ventajas considerables respecto del colector endometrial existente en particular las siguientes: It is a new endometrial collector to obtain endometrial samples without invading the woman in any way, with the aim of identifying the presence of pathologies in the uterus. It offers considerable advantages over the existing endometrial collector, in particular the following:
Primero) El embudo colector (1) está provisto de canales para aumentar el flujo por capilaridad desde el cérvix. Esto es extremadamente importante en los casos en que el flujo es muy escaso, lo que sin los canales puede llevar a obtener “muestras insuficientes”; First) The collecting funnel (1) is provided with channels to increase the flow by capillarity from the cervix. This is extremely important in cases where the flow is very low, which without the channels can lead to obtaining “insufficient samples”;
Segundo) En el tubo (2) se instalan cerdas finas, las cuales multiplican extraordinariamente la superficie disponible para que las células se adhieran, con notable incremento de capacidad diagnóstica; Second) In the tube (2) fine bristles are installed, which extraordinarily multiply the available surface for the cells to adhere, with a notable increase in diagnostic capacity;
Tercero) El reservorio (3) es de forma oval, de manera que su capacidad volumétrica se incrementa sin aumentar el diámetro transverso, lo que lo haría incómodo para la paciente/usuaria; Third) The reservoir (3) is oval in shape, so that its volumetric capacity increases without increasing the transverse diameter, which would make it uncomfortable for the patient/user;
Cuarto) Las paredes del reservorio (4) tienen partes cubiertas de celulosa, lo que atrae y retiene células para su estudio; Fourth) The walls of the reservoir (4) have parts covered with cellulose, which attracts and retains cells for study;
Quinto) El reservorio (3) incluye un cepillo de cerdas finas, aplicándose el mismo principio que con el cepillo a nivel del tubo. Además este cepillo puede extraerse y ser lavado fácilmente para 2 recuperar más células o más tejido que de otra manera se hubiera perdido; Fifth) The reservoir (3) includes a brush with fine bristles, applying the same principle as with the brush at the level of the tube. In addition, this brush can be easily removed and washed to 2 recover more cells or more tissue that would otherwise have been lost;
Sexto) El cordón para extracción manual (6) está anclado en toda la longitud del dispositivo, permitiendo su extracción más sencilla y pudiendo más fácilmente colocar el dispositivo en posición vertical evitando así el derrame de tejidos o sangre que pudieran aportar información valiosa; y, Sixth) The cord for manual extraction (6) is anchored along the entire length of the device, allowing for easier extraction and making it easier to place the device in a vertical position, thus avoiding the spillage of tissues or blood that could provide valuable information; Y,
Séptimo) Se amplía el espacio disponible para colocar un microchip además del cepillo de cerdas finas debido a la mayor capacidad del reservorio. Seventh) The space available to place a microchip is expanded in addition to the fine bristle brush due to the greater capacity of the reservoir.
