Abstract: A cervical tissue sample device for extracting cells from the cervix. A cervical tissue sample device includes a plunger slidably disposed along a longitudinal axis within a barrel. The plunger has a first end with a seal thereon and a second end which includes a plunger flange. A plurality of bristles extends longitudinally from the seal of the plunger. The barrel has a first end with an opening thereon such that the plurality of bristles is exposed therethrough when the plunger is depressed. An outer shroud is disposed about a perimeter of the first end of the plunger and configured to encapsulate the plurality of bristles therein when the plurality of bristles is disposed within the barrel. In this way, a user is able to collect a cervical tissue sample without utilizing a medical professional to extract the cells from the cervix.
