The tissue-sampling brush is sleeved in a sheath during insertion into the patient's body with the plurality of bristles deploying from the sheath during sample acquisition. The sheath facilitates insertion and removal of the tissue-sampling brush into the endoscopic device as well as structural support and protection for the plurality of bristles and endoscopic device. A plurality of bristles is scraped against the interior walls of the patient's body in order to acquire a tissue sample.
