What is SoftPap Cervical Cell Collector?
CytoCore's SoftPAP™ cervical cell collector offers a dramatic improvement over today's conventional collection methods for the Pap smear. Currently there are 70-80MM annual Pap tests given in the US, 100MM worldwide, and 1.5-1.8 BB women who require annual Pap testing. The largest single source of errors in Pap tests is bad sampling. It has been estimated that upwards of 50% of false-negative Pap tests collected using conventional spatula and/or brush techniques are "inadequate" collections. This is due to limitations in both the brush and spatula design and technique dependencies.
