Abstract: A corner brush assembly for cleaning corners including a flat brush head having a substantially rectangular body section integral with a horizontally tapered nose portion extending forwardly away from the body section. A handle is fastened in a predetermined angular relationship to the rear portion of the rectangular body section of the brush head. An appropriate number of bristles composed of a material suitable for a particular range of uses are imbedded in the body section so as to extend perpendicularly to the body. An appropriate number of bristles are embedded in the nose portion of the brush head at forwardly extending positions so that the forward angles relative to the brush head gradually decrease toward the forward nose and causing the bristles to extend further forward of the head as they are embedded toward the nose end. These bristles increase in length as the forward installation toward the nose end progresses.

Abstract: The apparatus disclosed is for the self-collection of cervical cell specimens for subsequent examination and testing by a medical laboratory, and the apparatus disclosed comprises an elongated tubular finger member formed of a thin elastically resilient material closed at one end and adapted to fit over and resiliently grip the user's finger. Adjacent its closed end the finger member carries a raised resiliently flexible wiping blade. A thin tubular sleeve member, shorter than the finger member and flared at one end, is adapted to accommodate the wiping blade of the finger member, so that the finger member with the sleeve member surrounding the wiping blade thereof may be inserted into the vagina and the wiping blade may then be extended to wipe and thus collect cells from the cervical os. The wiping blade of the finger member then may again be retracted into the sleeve member and the two removed together.
