. Why this device?
The process of taking a va**nal swab is an important diagnostic step in the event of va**nal secretions, infections, or local itching. Also, taking a va**nal swab is important to prevent va**nal infections during pregnancy and must be done at least every three months during pregnancy. In most countries, taking a va**na swab annually is important to control chronic va**nal infections.
The process of taking a smear is still done in routine ways, as it requires a specialist doctor or skilled technician, and it requires an appointment and preparation a day before. During the process, the patient needs to take off all her clothes and wear special sterile clothes, in addition to lying on the maternity bed and in the birth position, external disinfection and Removal of disinfectant are very necessary, and you need to insert the va**nal speculum and open it inside the va**na before taking the sample.
This disgusting and painful process has led many patients to refuse to take the smear, especially during pregnancy or when there are va**nal infections. This has prompted many to think about finding an alternative, and all the alternatives were not good or suitable for the smear, or may not serve its purpose.
In this invention
We do not need to go to the doctor clinic and it can self-use by the patient in the laboratory bathroom or at home.
We do not need to disinfect the external area, but regular cleaning with water is sufficient.
It is painless and very comfortable and does not require difficult movements or position during application.
There is a soft flexible outer cover that makes the device's entry into the va**na easy and non-irritating and prevents external contamination from entering inside.
Taking the swab is mechanical, so there is no need to rotate the swab.
The internal pressure of the cotton on the va**nal wall is measured and does not lead to any pain or injury.
The swab moves mechanically in a calculated field, not touching anything, but rather remaining in the center, protected from any contact.
Removing the swab from the va**na is very safe and does not cause any irritation.
