When a woman has an abnormal pap smear she usually undergoes colposcopy. Typically a metal instrument is used to obtain a small sampling of cells inside the cervix – an oftentimes painful procedure for the patient. Now researchers have tested an alternative device called fabric-based endocervical curettage. This less painful device had significantly fewer ‘inadequate’ specimens – meaning, patients didn’t need to return for repeat biopsies.
