?:definition
  • Spatulas designed to scrape the surface of the uterine cervix and/or vagina to obtain cells for microscopic examination (i.e., cytology). These instruments typically consist of a metallic (stainless steel, reusable) or plastic (single-use) handheld instrument, with a curved thin, flat, blunt distal working tip that is usually specially shaped for ectocervical/endocervical cell collection. Uterine cervix cytology spatulas are typically used in obtaining cells for the Papanicolau test for cervical cancer screening.
