  • Publication number: 20190374208
    Abstract: A sample collection apparatus or device, various abrasive devices or components, and methods for their use, are provided for collecting samples from within a mammalian body. Tissue collection and sample preparation is the gold standard in cytology. Many cell scrapers and abrasives and their respective methods of collection destroy cellular tissue, decreasing the quality of the sample. Devices for obtaining cell and tissue samples, can comprise a collection device which is inserted into a cavity, a finger worn collection device, a glove based collection device and respective abrasive instruments or components.

  • Patent number: 9590365
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a connector housing comprising: an upper housing portion; a lower housing portion located below the upper housing portion; and at least three partition members located an inner space defined by the upper housing portion and the lower housing portion for partitioning the inner space into at least four insertion ports. At least one pair of the at least three partition members are connected to each other through a connecting plate so as to form a frame part in a general “” shape; and the connecting plate is stacked onto a corresponding bottom of the lower housing portion. Thus, the amount of the partition members forming the connector housing is reduced, the structural strength of the entire connector housing may be increased, and a dimensional accuracy of each insertion port is reliably ensured.
