In a controlled trial a new modified nylon brush (Profile brush) was compared for endocervical cell pickup with the combination of an Ayre spatula and traditional cytobrush. The two devices produced the same endocervical cell pickup rates (Ayre + cytobrush, 82.0%; Profile, 82.7%). The smears were of good quality, with no difference in the incidence of scanty or unsatisfactory smears. The Profile brush was easy to use. It may be an alternative to the combination of an Ayre spatula and cytobrush for sampling the cervix.
在一项对照试验中，将一种新型改良尼龙刷（Profile刷）与Ayre刮板和传统细胞刷组合用于宫颈管细胞采集进行了比较。两种器械的宫颈管细胞采集率相同（Ayre刮板 + 细胞刷，82.0%；Profile刷，82.7%）。涂片质量良好，涂片细胞数量不足或不满意的发生率没有差异。Profile刷使用方便。它可能是用于宫颈取样的Ayre刮板和细胞刷组合的一种替代方法。
