MAI Animal Health Cytology Brush Double Guarded
The cytology Brush is a disposable medical tool designed for collecting cell and tissue samples from various areas within an animal's body for evaluation. Commonly used in veterinary medicine, it provides a minimally invasive, efficient, and reliable method to obtain diagnostic samples without the need for surgical procedures or sedation in most cases.
Cytology Brush Endoscopy
During endoscopic examination, the cytology brush passed through the channel of an edoscope to collect material from the respiratory and alimentary tracts. This allows veterinarians to safely retrieve samples from internal surfaces such as the trachea, bronchi, esophagus, or gastrointestinal lining, helping identify inflammatory infectious, or neoplastic (tumor) conditions. The flexible design ensures gentle sampling while maintaining cell yield and preservation for accurate micriscopic evaluation.
Cytology Brush Veterinary
In veterinary applications, the cytology brush is used across multiple species, incluidng dogs, cats, and horses, to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory, gastrointestinal, ocular, and dermatologic diseases. Studies have shown that standard cytology brushes provide higher cellularity and clearer backgrounds in collected samples, making them particularly useful for diagnostic accuracy. Mini brushes may be preferred when sampling localized or small anatomical regions, such as the conjuctiva in small-breed dos or narrow airways.
What is a Cytology Brush used for?
A cytology brush is used to collect surface cells from mucosal or epithelial tissues from microscopic analysis. It assists veterinarians in diagnosig a variety of conditions including:
- Respiratory tract infections and inflammation
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Neoplastic or precancerous changes
- Ocular surface abnormalities
- Localized mucosal lesions
By enabling early, precise, and minimal invasive sampling, the cytology brush supports accurate veterinary diagnostics and timely treatment decisions while minimizing stress and discomfrot for the patient.
