Unlike the current cell collection method for the Pap test, which involves scraping parts of the cervix to obtain cell samples, the e2 Collector uses a touch method to gather cells on the "sticky" surface of a balloon which is inflated against cervix and into the cervical canal to capture cells from all the at risk surface areas of the cervix. The results of the FDA trial demonstrated that for women with an abnormal Pap test, the e2 Collector because of its patented design and functionality is able to collect a better sampling of cells from the opening and into the cervical canal. Using patented TouchSense(R) force feedback technology, the system lets physicians experience the appropriate resistance as they navigate through the cervical canal and uterus. |
